UChicago Personal Essay

Hello guys, on UChicago’s College Confidential Forum they said that they prefer the personal essay to be about 250 words. My personal essay is 352 words, so should I make it smaller to 250 words or is it not going to effect anything?

hmmm… if they prefer it to be 250, then i would shorten it, but you can always email admissions and ask them directly.
