don’t worry…the admissions counselors aren’t out to count words. Just make sure your thoughts are clear and that you shine through! The word limit is just to make sure that admissions isn’t swamped with 8-page essays, but they also don’t want 3 sentences. If you need a little more wordage to clarify your points or finish or story, they won’t whack you for it. Good luck!
