<p>how strict are the adcoms about the essay limits? one of my essays is 340 words (should be 250), and I have a great essay to use for the last question but is around 830 words as opposed to the 500 they suggest.</p>
<p>Mine were over and I still got in. I would try to shorten down the 830 one to at least 700. It really just depends on how good/catching the essays are.</p>
