<p>Can it go over 500 words?</p>
<p>I wrote one and it's over 500 words so I tried to edit and condense it, but I just really feel that everyword says a big deal about who I am...</p>
<p>what should I do?</p>
<p>How many words over 500, I mean if it's like say, 530 or 540, I can't see them being too nitpicky about, but one you're getting in the 600's and up I would be concerned that admissions committees will intrepret this as unable to follow directions...</p>
<p>hmm I see</p>
<p>btw, should I double space it?</p>
<p>I did, it definitely looks more clean cut, though it's not necessary though it's also easier on the eyes.</p>
