My essay is SUPER LONG?

Is this a supplement or something? 300 seems like a small space.

Based on my experience, I would have to disagree with everyone that posted above me. My essay ended up being over 1000 words, when recommended was 500-700. Despite kind of ignoring that, I still got into a school that was a stretch for me. I got the essay to a point where I felt like removing anything would detract from the overall essay. I chose to just send the best I had to offer and accept it if I was rejected for that.

This is, however, only my experience. I would be interested to see numbers on the importance of abiding to word counts.
