<p>Hmm,
I'm doing a personal statement. It says "Approimatly 250 words", I have 268 word, should I try to knock off 18 words or is it ok?
How much leyway does appromixatly mean 25 words in each direction (over and under)?</p>
<p>ofc its fine</p>
<p>Dude, it's fine. But are you talking about the main CommonApp essay?</p>
<p>If so, the minimum is 250 words. Most are between 500-800.</p>
