<p>does anyone know how lenient princeton is on their word limit for the essays?</p>
<p>my 500 word essay is about 650+ words long.</p>
<p>is that ok? what should i do =/</p>
<p>stick to the +/- 10% of the suggested length rule.</p>
<p>get teachers/friends to help you edit it. if you've already tried that and can't change anything else, just stick with it. i'm sure there are longer essays being sent xP</p>
<p>my 250 ones were 300ish</p>
<p>and my 500 one was 680 or so</p>
<p>i don't think they care that much unless its OBVIOUSLY over...for example, your short essay should not be over 1 page double spaced...</p>
