Word Limit on Essays

<p>So is it okay to be "slightly" over the word limit on 250words essay?
Like for example going over 77words on 250?</p>

<p>I have heard of people who went over the limit and still got in.</p>

<p>However, try and narrow it down as much as you can. Good luck.</p>

<p>Well go around 10% over for supplements. For the common app it doesn’t really matter as long as you get your point across.</p>
