<p>On the Michigan application, it only says to write APPROXIMATELY a certain amount of words.
So, is it fine if I write... say, 400 words instead of 250, as recommended??</p>
<p>haha 400 words is too much…id say 300 is fine, but you don’t want to go too much over 300.</p>
<p>the point of the essays is to see how concise you can write while getting to your point. If you need 400 words to write a 250 word essay, its not a good sign.</p>
<p>250 word essays can range between 200 and 300 words and 500 word essays can range between 400 and 600 words. Slightly less or more is also fine, but almost doubling the recommended approximate is too much.</p>
