any progress on that essay, katmandoo?
I'm almost finished with mine and will have it looked over by a couple of teachers tomorrow. I just find that I work better with pressure.
I feel like I gave a semi-individual spin on my essay. But then again, I feel as if there's no way you can really give an individual spin on the essay without destroying the purpose or structure of it.

I feel like mine isn't either. Oh well. At least I tried
shuai, idk if it is. I would say stick to the word limit. I've heard of some people's essays getting read only up to the 500th word. Anything over that was seen as extraneous. I don't want to scare you though! They'll probably let it slide

oh well too late now i actually submitted. I totally forgot about the word limit when i was submitting lmao. But i don't see how they can tell the exact words. You can't do word count on pdf, and there's no way that someone is going to count them. Oh well, mine flows really well so the admission officer won't even notice that i went over the word limit =P

The rule of thumb is that the essay can be 500 words -/+ 10% (450-550).
