<p>Hey guys! I've written my essay for the supplement (I think it was Option 4). I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I've had it edited multiple times. The only problem is that is is about 750 words. On their supplement, Princeton says "about 500 words". Will 750 kill me? I don't think I can chop off anything without messing up the whole essay. Any advice/experiences would be of a huge help! Thanks so much!</p>
<p>i think you should cut it down to 550-600 at least. i don’t find editing helps with cutting down, i never want to cut alot out. i recommend rewriting the entire piece, though i’m not sure whether it’ll work for you.</p>
