long essay?

<p>I finally finished my "why CAS" essay last night (haha yes procrastination) but it's a whopping 725 words long. Uhh, is this way too long? I realize the 500-maximum limit the application states probably has a bit of flexibility, but this just might be pushing it..what do you think?</p>

<p>I saw the word limit just before I was going to click the "submit" button, (and mine was some 650) so I quickly (in 10 minutes) cut it down to 575 without major changes...and I submitted...is mine ok? too long?
brumaire I think you would want it a bit shorter, jus I think.</p>

<p>I would say 725 is a bit too much... I mean, it says a maximum of 500 words. Mine is about 530, so hopefully it will be ok.</p>
