I showed my essay to two of my teachers who work in the programming office. They’ve been reading essays for over 35 years. They said the extra words better be worth it. Always try handing it into a trusted teacher. I cut 90 words down to a 770 word essay on 1 page (with standard margins). As long as the words are meaningful, it flows, and its a page, you’ll be ok. I can honestly say so many people go overboard it probably doesn’t matter as much anymore.
