<p>The word limit given is 500 words. I've heard you can go over, but is 630 too much?</p>
<p>i would say so</p>
<p>What do you think would be a reasonable limit?</p>
<p>i’d try to cut it down as much as possible while keeping the integrity of your writing. sometimes as writers it’s hard to cut our own words, which is why it’s helpful to have someone else read it. i’d be happy to help you cut it down</p>
<p>Well, I was going to ask if 505 words is too much. They don’t just throw away the essay if it is 5 words over, do they?</p>
<p>Try to cut it down anyway. To be on the safe side. (:</p>
