The freshman essay word count max is 500 words. I’m really struggling with keeping it within that. However, the character count allows for more words, so would it be okay if I went over?
Thanks!
I’d say follow the character limit
My english teacher said that 10% over would be okay, personally my essay was 538 words. It is better to fully explain your thought process than keep within 500 words. The directions actually state “approximately” 400-500 words, so not necessarily a max word count.
Follow the directions
Thanks guys. I emailed UF and they said it’s fine as long as it fits in the character count
