In talking to a couple ex INSEAD students as well as shortlisted applicants, the advice I've gotten on the word limits is to not exceed it by 10%. So for the 250 word essays, its fine to be around 275 words or so.

This is the formula I'm sticking to, in fact most of my essays are 10% over the limit. I've pasted all the essays into the PDF and now am just waiting to hit the "SUBMIT" button. Once done, there's no going back, so some bit of anxiety building up...

All the best to everyone!
