I’m applying to gmu early action, and I’m planning on doing the option essay. It says to limit the essay to 500 words or less, and then provides a box that has a 4000 character limit. My essay with 694 words fits in there, would it be okay to use that one since it fits even though they ask for 500 words or less?
