<p>290 words too much?</p>
<p>It says 150 or lesser …</p>
<p>290 is kinda overboard…could u cut any fluff?</p>
<p>…I would say, definitely. That’s almost twice as much as they asked for. Get it down to 200 at the very most, imho.</p>
<p>Well, I can get it down to about 250 but that’s about it … 
…</p>
<p>I find that hard to believe. If they say 150 or Less… I would be very apprehensive about going over. There is a reason they say less. If you need to write more about that acitivity do it in the additional info section.</p>
<p>My son managed to write about an activity and how it taught him to be level headed and also how to deal with failure without giving up. And to be calm about failing in front of a crowd. All about being a goalie in lacrosse. If he can get that across in 150 words, I am sure you can cut yours down.</p>
<p>I’ve written one on another activity, this one’s not as good as the other one, but is ~205 words.</p>
