How strict is...

<p>the 200 word limit on the short answer essays? Did anyone go over it? I've shortened my essay to about 350 words, but i dont think i can shorten it any more.</p>

<p>i thnk 350 is a bit excessive personally, you can ask your interview alum though or your college advisor</p>

<p>Ok.
I lied. I was able to shave it down to 250. Still too long?</p>

<p>hahaha....nice, ya that's perfect, you applying ed 2?</p>

<p>I've been thinking about it... Just for the record, do you think that having both short answers relate to art is a bit too much art for one application?</p>

<p>ya, and i know the questions lend themselves to similar answers, but do your best to pick different categories for your essays, if you want them both to be art oriented, then make them about different aspects of art, but try not to write about the same thing twice or you could risk boring the reader.</p>
