No that's completely within reason. It's even less within your control to contain the time for that. If it went over 70 I would cut stuff.

I’m actually pretty bad about this. I go 10% over and I’ve never seen it stop my clients from getting interviews. A fellow advisor mentioned is is OK when I worked for a large firm that is on here. With regards to formatting unless they specify, up to your judgement. I would advise against Comic Sans but I think Calibri or Arial or Times New Roman are good choices. I abhor Times I find it very unreadable but they seem to feel differently.
Hey, could you please provide advice on the video statement?
The guidelines specify a limit of no more than 60 seconds, but mine is 68 seconds. Honestly, I’m unsure which part of the talk track I could cut to reduce it by 8 seconds, especially since the deadline is just a day away. Based on your experience, would this be a red flag for the admissions committee? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
