<p>Does anyone else find it super hard to fit everything you want to say on there?
I’ve been editing and cutting so much…</p>
<p>Anyways though, do you guys still leave spaces after periods and commas? I decided to at least leave spaces after commas, but do you think it really matters?</p>
<p>I leave spaces after both. It does look strange to me if you don’t.</p>
<p>Spaces after periods and commas?
… Isn’t that the norm? (Of the English language/MLA, at least?) I would hope it matters, though maybe not as the determining factor in admission.</p>
<p>I found it really hard to squeeze all I wanted to say in the short responses too. Actually the “Who interested you in Brown” question was all right, but the academic areas/why Brown one was tough.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s the norm but it also counts as one character, which to me, could be put to better use.</p>
<p>dont leave spaces after commas or periods…thats F’d up…very little space…opinions???</p>
<p>IMO: leave spaces.</p>
<p>am i in trouble??</p>
<p>just cut out one sentence. It will give you all the spaces you need to use after commas and periods. </p>
<p>i mean really, badly formatted essay (affects overall) vs. one less thing to say (just one point)? do you really want to do that to your essay?</p>
<p>hmmmmmmmmmmm… you do make a point.</p>
<p>The key point regarding a short response is “short.” Don’t ramble. One of the most important lessons you must learn about college-level writing is brevity with style. The great German composer Brahms once said something like, “It’s easy to write lots of notes, but it’s incredibly hard to allow the superfluous ones to fall under the table.” Make your point succinctly with elan.</p>
