Guys, for the essays, does the online application allow us to submit more words than what is recommended? I am slightly over the limit and am not able to bring it down. I can ofcourse enter and save 250++ words for the essay but I am not sure if it will go through. Has anyone submitted with more than 250 and see it going through?
At an online chat session, a Berkeley rep said that going over the word limit by 5% is fine (someone said they were struggling with length, and the rep offered that percentage up themselves). With that guideline, the 250 word maxes could go up to 262, and the 750 could go up to 787.
