<p>So, for the "How did you learn about Vassar and what appeals to you about it?" question, the commonapp website has a box with a 500 character limit and the option of uploading a file instead. I just wrote a short paragraph a few characters shy of 500 so that it would fit in the box, but I've noticed that a lot of people have been writing much longer essays and uploading them...now I'm starting to think that mine is too short. They never actually mention a word/character goal in the prompt, so how long do you think it's supposed to be?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
