<p>The essay is to be 250 words or less but I'm at 399 words and I can't imagine cutting down anymore.. is it okay for it to be ~300 words? Have any accepted students gone over the word limit for the essays?</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine going a bit over the limit… but you’ll definitely annoy the reader if you don’t follow the rules at all and write 400 words for a 250 word essay</p>
