<p>I know that you dont need to submit an essay, but i wrote one that is about 700 words in length. There is nothing that I really feel I should take out =/. Do you think it's okay even though the optional essay suggests 500 words or less? (since it is optional and doesn't ever say clearly). Thanks!!</p>
<p>Yes, it's fine.</p>
<p>should be fine</p>
