550 word essay?

<p>Is this a problem. It is 1 and 1/2 pages double spaced.</p>

<p>try cutting it down. they made the word limit for a reason. if i were an admissions officer, i wouldnt want to read a long essay. they’re not gonna count the words, but just in case. good luck :)</p>

<p>I’m not an admissions officer, but from what I’ve heard, they can’t count the words since it’s a pdf file, but they can recognize when it’s over 500 words. In my opinion, 50 words is a little too much. 5-15 might be fine (this is MY opinion strictly), but try as best you can to get under 500 words, just in case.</p>
