They don't count
But they've read so many essays that they are able to tell if you're over the limit by a lot

Tuck has a fixed character count box on the essay page. There was no option to breach the character count limit. If I am recalling correctly, spaces were also counted as characters. For Ross, one has to upload the essay so I am not sure whether they are super strict or not. Same for Mccombs where we need to upload the essay. Ideally, one has to strictly try to adhere to word limits as much as possible
Ross scan their essay first
Which gives them a report
Plagiarism and stuff
