<p>I have typed my short essays and long essay. </p>
<p>When it says ~1600 or ~4900, how many characters does it actually allow? Has anyone experimented yet?</p>
<p>Also, how do you paste from a microsoft word document into the application essay boxes?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!!</p>
<p>it allows up to 1600 and 4900, when they say approximately, they mean 1600 and 4900 or shorter
you can either copy and paste directly, or upload the saved document into the box</p>
<p>So it can't be 1607 or 4913 or the sort?</p>
<p>no...................</p>
<p>No, I had a major problem with that last night. Mine was one character over. Then after 20 minutes I realized that lines count for 2 spaces and that I had an extra one at the end.</p>
