<p>The college I want to apply asked for a personal statement with approximately 250 words. Would 308 words be too much. </p>
<p>Appreciate for any help!:]
agh I hate word limits!</p>
<p>It's definitely fine (you can't really tell the diff between ~250 & 300 words while reading). But still, try to cut down on any unnecessarily words or sentences if possible.</p>
