Word Count for MIT Essays

<p>Hello Everyone,
I am about to submit my application now but a couple of my essays are over the word count by about 10 words. I can save them and view the full essay in the PDF. Should I assume the admission committee would see the same thing or is the word count strictly enforced like in the commonapp?
Thanks for all your help!!!</p>

<p>Only 10 over should be fine, but to make sure submit and validate. If it validates it’s fine, but don’t assume it fits just by looking at the pdf.</p>

Thanks for the reply. It validated just fine and I submitted it last night. Best of luck to everyone else!!</p>
