how strict are the word limits on each essay?

My 50 word essay was 48 words, my first short answer was about 198, my 2nd was 231, and my optional essay was 443. I think it’s ok to go over by a little, but don’t go over by too much. I’d think 150 is probably a little long for the “why tufts”; it’s three times the recommended length.
