approximately?

[Tarnation]

<p>Hi, on the common app supplement, it asks me to write an essay approximately 500 words long; mine is 610 words. Is that okay or is that pushing it too far?</p>

<p>That’s 22% longer than it should be.</p>

<p>Cut it down.</p>

<p>If it fits on one page single-spaced it should be fine.</p>
