Is it okay to have your word count be 500 or in the 490’s if the limit is 250-500? I don’t want the AO’s to think I’m trying to hard to get to the word count however most of my essays are that long even with editing. Do you guys thinks it’s acceptable to have your word count be that high?

Thanks!

Well, it’s within the word count, so it should be fine. I get the same problem as well :))

I think it’s fine, most of my essays are like that too
