<p>My essay on the supplement is...[cringes] 406 words. I've edited it a lot up to this point, and I only think that I can but it down about 40 words max. Will this hurt me a lot? Is anyone in a similar predicament? It's the second essay, about how we'll take advantage of Cornell's resources...</p>
<p>250 vs. 350 is a pretty rediculous difference. Just talk about fewer advantage-taking opportunities perhaps?</p>
<p>Yea the officers don't really count the words, but they know what 250 words looks like... so... 350 would be too much.. down to about 300 might pass.</p>
<p>I've shortened it to 329, I guess I still have some work to do...</p>
