| I am not saying you SHOULD do this, however my essays that had word limits (usually of 500) were four times (or more) the limit (ranging 2000+ in some cases) and I recieved acceptances a plenty (along with scholarship offers [in one case I would not have unless I had taken such care with my essay {or so I feel}]).
In other words, worry not about the word limit, but how you want to answer the essay. If you feel you need all but 10 words to respond, and are pleased with your answer, then do so. If you feel you need 2000 words and are pleased with your answer, then do so.
Worry less about the syntax and more about the content.
Best of luck. |
