<p>I'm really having trouble cutting down my supp to 500 words...its at 593 right now.
is this a problem?</p>
<p>I would think so. “We ask that you respect the word limit we have set. Will we read the words beyond 500? Yes. But if your essay is much longer than 500 words, you will not have helped yourself by ignoring our request. Remember, concise and simple writing is often the best writing.” Try combining sentences or see if you’re saying the same thing multiple times?</p>
<p>Thanks. that really prompted me to cut some more. Got it down to below 500!</p>
