Yale "approximate" essay length language

I had drafted my essays for Yale in 11pt font prior to reading that they require 12pt. Anyone have a perspective on how much wiggle room their "approximately" language provides? Feel free to comment or just respond to the poll below.

Example directions are: "The optional essay should be approximately one double-spaced page, formatted in a professional 12-point font,"

    4. Just don't risk going over at all (only counter here: why put "approximately" in that case?)
