Their website says 250 words, but Common App allows up to 300. Is it safe to say I can go over 250?
The website says “roughly 250 words” not “maximum of 250 words”, so it should be fine to go over 250 as long as it’s less than 300.
Thank you, @iceblossom4. I’m so surprised that “roughly” is being missed.
I’ve addressed this on the blog and instagram several times. We don’t have time to count words. Our guidance is telling you to be concise.
