<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>
