<p>On Tuft's short answer essays, the website states that your answer must be 200 words. Does the website let you submit if you're well over 200? If you've got like 300 instead...? Or is there a strict character limit on it?</p>
<p>I don’t think you should go over 220. Maybe even less.
But I really have no idea. I’m having the same problem right now…</p>
<p>When the representative came to our school she said to basically ignore the word limits. She warned us not to go overboard, but the limit was more of a formality and a way in which to show students how much time should be spent on the essays relative to each other.</p>
