<p>So I'm finishing up my essays, and I was just wondering how close to the word limit I need to go. On the short ones, I'm almost to the word, but on the long short answers, like Saint Paul's or Deerfield, I'm falling short of the word limits by a lot. What is the general rule for how close to go?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Quality over quantity. Do the amount that you feel best gets your point across. Don’t fluff up your answers just to be close to the limit. I wrote what I felt necessary for each short answer and I am more than satisfied with my end products.</p>
