<p>Anyone started doing Michigan's short answers? when they say approximately 250 words, do most people go over that or under that?</p>
<p>You can go over it , sure but to an extent. Try to keep it around half a page. Widen the margins , use a smaller font - things like that.</p>
<p>they say keep 1 inch margins, so I wouldn't widen them. My short answers are around 270-280 words, if that helps.</p>
<p>Mine were 295 and 250 words.</p>
<p>Mine were 290 and 282 respectively. I was accepted.</p>
<p>If it's between 270-280 words, your fine. But a helpful reminder, try to cut down the amount of words. When I did that, my essays were much better.</p>
<p>Okay, good. mine is exactly 275.</p>
<p>I came to U.S at age of 11, and I'm currently a US Permanent Resident (so I'm not an international student), do I still have to take TOEFL?</p>
<p>^^ what are your trying to accomplish? Looks to me you are in the wrong thread.</p>
<p>yup sorry i posted in the wrong thread</p>
<p>i got a question about the essays...for the issue of local concern..does it mean local as in domestic? or local as in your town/county/state?</p>
<p>i didn't choose that one, but i took it as in local being your town or county. state might be a bit of a reach, but if a state issue (e.g. in CA, gas prices) has an affect on your town, by all means write about it.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the word limit is on the Ross Essay? I looked online at the app, but it doesn't seem clear.
Thanks!</p>
<p>If i remember correctly the Ross PA essay word limit was 500.</p>
<p>Thanks vc, that's what I thought but I just had to check.</p>
