<p>well in the “application guide” mail that they sent me, it said that the ~250 word limit was a guideline and to use good judgment, I don’t really think it would have been bad judgment to have 16 extra words or a submission that takes about the same amount of time to read. I thought that because it was addressed that way in the mail I received, that there was a way to use your own judgment, and the online app didn’t allow me to do that.</p>
