I believe that this option would be beneficial, as we require 250 words or more for the essay in our application. The issue is that we get many applications that have essays of less than 250 words. Afterwards, we have to ask them to write another application or add to theirs so that we have one that satisfies this requirement. Another possibility would be to add a word counter to the text box for the student's view for progress tracking.
