Supplement length

<p>If the supplements say they should be 50 words, or 200 words, is it okay if it's a little over? (as in 70 words, and 230 words respectively?) I seem to have trouble cutting it down. Does anyone want to help me read my answers? Thanks.</p>

<p>Dan the admissions fellow was saying in another thread that the word limits are more like suggestions and that it is okay to be a little bit over, but that the idea is to get your message across as concisely as possible. I tend to write with a lot of description and stuff so I went ahead and cut a lot out : ( But they dooo read much more clearly and straightforward-ly now</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
