Is "150 words or less" limit on Scholarship App short answer REALLY 150 words?

<p>Can the answers to the four short answer questions for the Mylonas Scholarship be 220 or 250 words instead of the stated 150 words when submitting the answer online?</p>

<p>Why would you ask that? If they could be 220-250 words, why would they specify 150? This would probably be a good question for your regional admissions counselor.....</p>

<p>Sometimes colleges give a word count as a general guideline, and sometimes with online applications one has to upload the answer and it cannot be even one word over.</p>

<p>If anyone has submitted a scholarship app online and knows the answer, thanks in advance for the info :)</p>

<p>i had >150 word essays on my compton app. it wasn't egregious like 250, but like ~180. i think it's fine to go over a little</p>
