Institutional action essay: I got suspended during my first year.

750 characters seems like so little. I barely got all I needed to say in my amcas app, and that was 1325 limit. In amcas, I stated both what happened, and what I learned from it. But since the character limit is so low for AACOMAS, should i just flat out state what happened (which comes to 749 characters) and leave the "what I learned from it" out? Or should I mull over this even longer to try to fit the impossible in?

I would shorten the explanation and explain what you learned... seems like that's the most important part. Hopefully you'll be able to explain it more during interviews
