<p>Hi! I finished my supplements for Tufts and before I submit, I'd like some opinions regarding where the # of words in my essays stands by comparison to the limits and if that is OK. I've tried making many of them shorter but I'm not sure if I can get rid of much more without lacking substance.</p>

<p>My essays:
Essay 1 - Why Tufts? - 162 wds
Essay 2 - Environment Raised - 280 wds
Essay 3 - Inner-self - (It has a quote at the start of the essay) WIth the quote: 356 wds. Without the quote: 320 wds.</p>

<p>Video Supplement length: 1:50
Is the 1 minute limit an absolute cap off? Or merely a guideline.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any opinions!! :)</p>

<p>I think your essay #1 is a bit long :frowning: I was having a hard time to limit it to like around 50 words. I’m not sure, you might be fine if ur essay is awesome! :slight_smile: Also, my video is like 1:10. I thought this was a little bit off limit. Why don’t u shorten ur video to like around 1:30 at most and give a stronger impact?</p>
