<p>how important is it for you to stay within the number of words they tell you on the application. mine says 300 max....and i'm approaching 500 right now. but man, everything im saying in the essay has to stay. i dont know. maybe i can edit it. but do i need to? i mean if i can make the essay really good, does it matter how long it is? as long as it's not tooo long?</p>
<p>c.w. is to stay in the word limit plus/minus 10% --so in your case, about 270-330. Roughly, of course.</p>
