Hello guys,
I am wondering if I go over about 20 words on 600 words essay.

is USC Marshall strict to the word limit? should I shorten my essay from 620 words to 600 or less?
I am just worried about it...
Yes, Adamahn89, I agree with the others. In fact, I would urge you to get another set of eyes to look over the essay. You might not see a way to tighten things up, but I guarantee you someone else will.

Good luck.

- Andrew
