<p>Before I ask my question, I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas! :D</p>
<p>Ok, now to the fun stuff. My short answer is around 300 words, which is 150 words over the recommended amount. I could probably cut it down some, but I'm not sure if I want to do that... </p>
<p>Also, my personal statement is 600 words, however, I feel as though it is not personal enough :/. Should I scrap it and rewrite it? </p>
<p>The reason these essays are so long is because I used them for Stanford. ;)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
