<p>is the 300 word limit strict? or can I go a bit over? my second essay is 323 words as of right now.</p>
<p>I really doubt they count the words, but I would recommend finding something unnecessary that you can cut anyway.</p>
<p>323 is totaly acceptable. i wouldn’t exceed 350, then it becomes too obvious.</p>
<p>okay. thanks for the suggestions guys! yeah i’m gonna go through and see if there are any phrases or sentences that i can cut, but at 323 words i’m not worried.</p>
<p>At 8% over, I wouldn’t worry about it, if it concisely conveys your thoughts. But if they say 300 and you give them 600, it might give them pause as to your ability to follow instructions.</p>
