Emory supplemental essay word count..

For Emory's "Why is Emory a good match," does anyone know if 250 words is the absolute rigid limit, or is it okay if I am 10-20 words above if I absolutely cannot cut anything out?

They don't count your words, and yes, you can go over 250. Just don't go over 400.

10 or so words are nothing to worry about. Ask someone to read your essay, if they start losing interest before they get to the end then that's a good hint that it's too long.

Good Luck!

I hope that mine's not too long at 324...it's concise/not boring enough though! Do you think it's alright? I think I'm just overworried. :]
