Word count for essays (Rotman in particular)

by sensei_mike » Sun Apr 03, 2011 6:46 pm

Hey Guys,

If an essay has a word count max of 250 but I have said all I want to say in 170-200 words, will that reflect poorly on me? Is the expectation that I go to as close to the max as possible?

I am sure if you dig well into your past, you will get enough info to fill in.

I would recommend getting close to the mark. The essays are the only place to market yourself. Share as much info as you can.

All d best.

Vineesh,
