Essay Word limit

<p>The Essay for Johns Hopkins says to be 250 words maximum each question.. I'm at 399 words and I can't imagine going down much more. Is it okay if its in the 300s?</p>

<p>I feel like the limit is unfortunately there for a reason…</p>

<p>Yes you should totally abridge your essay. Anyway Good Luck on your application to Johns Hopkins! Hope you get in :)</p>
