<p>So after scouring the forums, I find advice ranging from 175 tops, to up to 300?! I've cut mine down to 218 (though I really like the 286 word one A LOT more)....should I cut back some more? Go with the original? Go with this one?</p>
<p>I think you are worrying too much. I would say the max would be 200 words. If you want, you can pm it to me and I can look over it</p>
<p>Alright, I’ll send you the chopped down one - I actually have two options I’m thinking about, but thank you!</p>
<p>I strongly recommend following the exact instructions and staying within all word limits.</p>
<p>I sent it at ~200 >.< hopefully they won’t notice >.> <.< But thanks 
I’ll just hope for the best!</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I sent it at ~300 haha. Probably a bad idea but oh well, I hope it’s at least somewhat entertaining, and I’m sure that won’t be the deciding factor anyway…</p>
<p>hahaha I shouldn’t have cut mine down then xD well, good luck to the both of us!</p>
<p>Mine was 173 and I got in Wharton ED, but I’m sure they won’t mind as long as it’s <350-400.</p>
<p>I sent mine it at 321, and was accepted ED to Wharton.</p>
<p>Awesome! thanks :3 really shouldn’t have cut down or freaked out haha</p>
