<p>What are the approximate word counts of the About You and other short essays? i know it says about a page..does this mean single spaced? My About Me is about 800 right now..you think that is too long?</p>
<p>800 words is fine, mine was in the 900s and I was accepted EA</p>
<p>Mine is currently at 873, but I know I can cut it down some. Combined with margin manipulation (which I may have to make less noticable), it should all come in at a little over a page.</p>
<p>BTW, as I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, I was wondering how the online application accepts the essays. Does it work like the text box on the Common App, where you just copy and paste, or can you actually attach a document?</p>
<p>copy and paste</p>
<p>Darn–I hate those. You have to go through the whole thing and re-indent and separate paragraphs. Oh well.</p>
<p>only the short essay is copy & paste. the others are printed out on a seperate sheet of paper sent in with your application</p>
<p>Wait-you mean that even though I can submit most of the application on-line, I still have to send my essays in by physical mail? When is the postmark deadline?</p>
<p>I am confused tooo. Can anyone answer debater88’s question?..</p>
<p>No I don’t think so..
DCForMe–everything on the online app is copypaste..you don’t have to send anything by mail</p>
<p>whoa! looking at their website they completely redid the application process from how it was EA in only a few short months. Never mind, ignore my advice. This year’s EA had to send everything in by mail</p>
<p>In terms of making the essays about a page, any opinions on whether it would be better to print out and mail your essays (so you can manipulate margins, etc 
) or to submit them through the online app? Mine are looking like they’ll be ~900+/- a little, which is over a page w/ regular margins, but looks fine if the margins are adjusted a little. Is this (length) important enough to worry about putting it in the mail, or will they be a bit flexible if I submit it online? Thanks!</p>
