<p>How close should it be, if the limit is 500, is it okay to have around 550 or is that too much? I know they don't count every word, but I'm wondering how much is too much?</p>
<p>I'm sure up to 600 or so is fine...I know someone who got accepted with a 750 essay. Just don't push it. They don't want to see a book.</p>
