<p>when they say 2 lines or less for the short answers, does it literally mean the two lines in the box or can you fill the entire box/use all the characters available?</p>
<p>it really doesn’t matter. Stanford adcom isn’t really going to care if you use an extra 50 characters or so. That said, I limited myself to two lines and got accepted. My brother who used every last character also got in. It isn’t a big deal, just try to stick close to two lines.</p>
<p>ok thanks! :D</p>
