<p>I'm writing my University of Florida essay and they ask for a 400-500 word essay. However, the essay is written in a text box. The text box allows you to write up to 3,885 characters. My essay is at 496 words but I still have 1,177 characters left. I still have to add to it. Should I keep going until the characters cut off or should I cut down cause of the word limit?</p>
<p>I think the box will stop allowing you to type when you’re out of characters. I tried to paste my draft essay in to see what happened. I don’t think your essay will be cut off unless you hit that limit.</p>
<p>But would they frown upon an essay that’s say, 100 or 200 words over the limit, even though it fits in the text box?</p>
<p>bump, can anyone help?</p>
