Why Northwestern word limit?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to work on my Why Northwestern, and it is really strong so far...but way too long.
I'll have to cut it down. Does anyone know the word limit or the paragraph limit? I was trying to find the application, but it seems they have taken down last year's PDF.
Thanks!

The old app didn't have a word limit, but it did say "one or two paragraphs." I'll do a Why Northwestern swap if you'd like.
Especially since you aren't a splitter like me!
