<p>its says maximum of 150 words, but the online application gives space for an essay of 3,500 characters, which would make even a 500 word essay fit. do i have to limit myself to just the 150 words limit or the 3500 character limit?
has anyone consulted with an admissions counselor about this?</p>
<p>I haven't talked to anyone but I'm keeping to the 150 word limit</p>
<p>Most likely it's more of a guideline. So a little off the limit wouldn't hurt. It's not as if they have time to count the number of words.</p>
