HELP! I went over the word limit!

<p>For my JHU supplemental, the max amount of words is 250. I wrote 289, and I can't cut anything out! Is this okay?</p>

<p>No follow the rules. i am 100% sure you can shorten it</p>

<p>Ahh! Your right, I should follow the rules. I was able to cut it down to 248 words :)</p>
