<p>so on the application it says able to work through september 2011. does that mean it will interfere with our schoolyear if it starts earlier than that in fall? (If we are current juniors)</p>
<p>Well call BoA and tell them to confirm if they got it or not.</p>
<p>Applying from LA region</p>
<p>@radley I allowed my teacher to submit the recommendation them self. I think that is best personally. Instead of giving them my password I logged on for them and allowed them to upload it in front of me, and then that was that.</p>
<p>I am pretty excited. Has anyone submitted yet? Im checking and rechecking everything multiple times over before i submit. </p>
<p>Does anyone know the average service of a Bank of America Service Leader? Or the organizations they are usually affiliated with?</p>
<p>I already submitted my application. I have finals next week, so I just wanted to get it out of the way. Also, from what I’ve heard, there’s a wide range of hours that people have. I’ve seen people with 2000+ hours, others with 500, and some around a couple hundred. BoA is looking for a diverse group of people. </p>
<p>Btw, if anyone is having trouble with the letter, be sure to fax it in a couple of days early. I faxed mine in and the person who I spoke to said that it takes a couple of days for it to process.</p>
<p>So someone asked about the program running into the school year. Does anyone know more info on that?</p>
<p>does anyone know if you can apply to a market if you don’t actually live there?</p>
<p>Okay, so I ended up just giving my account info to my English teacher (for rec).</p>
<p>Another question - do you guys think the 1000 character maximum is strict? Because I am SERIOUSLY having trouble condensing one of my answers down to that limit. It’s a little bit over but I don’t want to delete any of it. Will that automatically disqualify my app or something?</p>
<p>I may be crazy, but when I tried to save my application (not necessarily send it, but I was just saving it to come back to it later), it didn’t allow me to save my response with over a 1000 characters. So I’m assuming that it is pretty strict.</p>
<p>Yeah, right now I’m just tediously condensing all my phrases and wording just so it the response adheres to the limit. 
gah</p>
<p>Similar problem as above while I was writing the “essays” but I’m done cutting down my responses and everything now. Also, good idea on giving the counselor your account info, I didn’t know that they prefered to have recs uploaded until I saw this.</p>
<p>does anyone know how competitive the new jersey market is? thanks for any info!</p>
<p>yeah im the DC area how competitive is that also?
and do they like a bunch of random community service projects or one that you are really dedicated to?</p>
<p>I had the same application problem, with the word count. I thought it meant 1000 word limit per box.</p>
<p>Wait, so is it 1000 words for each little box? Or 1000 words to spread out in all the boxes?</p>
<p>EDIT: I realized it was 1000 CHARACTERS.</p>
<p>the optional letter of rec section only allows 512KB to be uploaded. i have no idea how to compress my 792KB pdf into that. putting it in zip only made it 600ish</p>
<p>You can ask whoever wrote it to put it in a Word document.</p>
<p>just submitted. whew. i put the optional letter in a read-only microsoft word docx. hope they can retrieve it.</p>
<p>@samtrinh Yay congrats! Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the actually deadline is? January 11, 2011 at 11:59 PST?</p>
<p>Yikes, do they really prefer it uploaded? My teacher’s sending it in today…</p>
