<p>Question:</p>

<p>For the NYU essay prompts that say "Limit your response to 7 lines, or approximately 500 characters," how exactly should this be interpreted? For example, one of my answers is:</p>

<p>Font - 12pt
Characters (with no spaces) - 488
Characters (with spaces) - 594
Lines - 7</p>

<p>Is this acceptable?</p>

<p>it's nopt exactly going to be against you... but make sure that it's absolutely necessary...</p>

<p>just append the words that wont fit into the supplemental info page</p>
