<p>the northwestern app specifies “no more than 50 words” so I’m wondering if I should strictly follow the guidelines and not go overboard.</p>
<p>50 words?? This is ridiculously tough. How has everybody cope with this?</p>
<p>well i guess you can go a little over. but yes… only 50 words.</p>
<p>At the Discover NU weekend, they talked about this. They said you can go over by a few, but you really need to stick close to the 50 words. Maybe 55, but not 60 or 70.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s tough, it’s supposed to be that way! :-P</p>
<p>Just a couple sentances that are eloquent but still says a alot about you will suffice…at least, that’s what I and everyone I know did!</p>
