one of my essays is 850 words long, and i find that it’s impossible to condense them any further (this is down from 1000, and i’m fairly concise). Do they care? Should i cut out stuff at the loss of my essay? it says “Please keep a 500-word limit”, but i know others will go slightly over 500… but i’m way over 500. any advice? ty.
