<p>Is this normal? Should I write more?</p>
<p>umm… that means u used shorter words…</p>
<p>Dont be verbose if you dont need to be. If you are happy with what you wrte, submit it</p>
<p>mine was like 40 words.</p>
<p>you’re fine lol… quality not quantity :P</p>
<p>It says to keep it under 200 words, so you are fine</p>
<p>What confuses me is my words aren’t all that short. Ah well, I am pretty satisfied with my essay. I guess I won’t change it then. Thanks, guys.</p>
<p>The 800 is your character limit. (which is not even words, but single characters.) The text box, like most, has character limit.</p>
<p>The character limit on the text box has padding so that someone won’t be cut off before adequately saying why they want to go to Rice.</p>
