<p>For one of the essays, the suggested length is about 250 words. Do you think it is too long if mine is around 300 words? Thanks.</p>
<p>On the UNC-Admissions blog one of the admissions officers said it would be ok if an essay was 600 for the 500 word essay. I dont know if she is just saying that or not, so take it for what it is. Mine were 502 and 249. I was pretty mad when I read that it didnt have to be within 10 words of the limit, seeing as I spent countless hours editing my essay until it was almost exactly the required length. Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Absolutely. As long as it flows well and doesn't just repeat the same thing, you're fine. They don't count!</p>
