<p>Either I'm reading it wrong or the maximum amount of words is 1500. I thought these questions were usually 250 to 500 words, tops. Does anyone plan on going anywhere close to 1500? Do you think we'll be penalized if we don't?</p>
<p>I haven’t seen the Columbia supplement, but are you sure the 1500 limit applies to words, rather than characters?</p>
<p>That would make a lot more sense. Thanks, I’ll check.</p>
<p>It was characters! stupid me…</p>
