word limit on why Northwestern?

<p>My "Why Northwestern" is about 750 words. It's very passionate and it's hard to cut it down to about 500 words. Is there a hard limit on how many words this essay can have? Thanks!</p>

<p>There is no word limit; as long as it’s clear, concise, and passionate, you’re golden. Good luck with the application process!</p>

<p>Go short. “Some people look at NU and ask why. I look at Nu and ask why not?”*</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
