Admission Essay Issue- Please Help?

[MurseHopeful]

Hi All,

I am currently in the process of applying to the UTHSCSA nursing program. However, I have ran into a bit of a situation while doing so. Instead of an interview, the application consists of 5 essay questions. I can answer the questions just fine, but I am running a bit long on my answers. The requirements are no more than 600 characters with spacing, which equates to about 5 and a half lines. Does anyone have suggestions of tips for getting my point across in so few lines?

make a list of words, just one per line. These words will represent the concepts that are the points you want to get across. Include words that you think make up a good student or a good nurse. Then, just like in 3rd grade, use these words in a sentence.
