<p>What’s the program about? Is it prestigious?</p>
<p>@big dreamer</p>
<p>exactly! it sounds so easy… but it’s hard. =(</p>
<p>@Luciferlied</p>
<p>It’s an engineering/science program that exposes those fields to students. I think it’s prestigious.</p>
<p>Does the 2500 Char limit include spaces?</p>
<p>Yes, it does include spaces.
Ex) This is a letter.
17 characters (including the period, too)</p>
<p>I hope it doesn’t, and honestly I don’t think it includes spaces.</p>
<p>EDIT: WHAT? It includes spaces? I’m toast</p>
<p>Haha, I have about 100-115 words left to finish descirbing “how I furthered my interest” and “how YESS will support my educational goals”</p>
<p>Wow, time to crop this thing down. YIKES, 1 hour left :o </p>
<p>It’s prestigious I believe, it’s no charge and has a ridiculously low admit rate.</p>
<p>@big dreamer</p>
<p>hahaha yeah I’m trying to fit it all into 2500 characters. too hard.</p>
<p>Hahhaa SUCCESS!!! I got to fit, had like 2449 or something like that. Man that was hard lol. Sent it off about 15 minutes ago. How close are you hpaero1?</p>
<p>ahhhhh i got it in too, but i forgot to mention that their log in to account thing is down… lol but i’m pretty sure they know that.
that WAS hard.
I’m about 2 characters over… but i took out so much the essay sounded kinda bland afterwards… ahh well.</p>
<p>did you send it as an attached document?</p>
<p>I thought about sending it in as an attached document, but I didn’t. I just copied/pasted right into the email lol. I wish that I hadn’t done that, but oh well. I too forgot to mention that, and my essay was too depleted. I wish it was w/o spaces, I had a good essay then.</p>
<p>I’m applying to YESS also!</p>
<p>I emailed my application essay last night at about 6 CST. 2477 characters with spaces =D</p>
<p>I almost freaked out when I saw red font when I was about to submit my essay on the application page.</p>
<p>@big dreamer
I know… I wish spaces weren’t included.
My essay does not flow very well because I had to delete alot… </p>
<p>@jbrown</p>
<p>Ohh, that’s good =)
I did freak out when I saw the red font, but I e-mailed them whatever I hadn’t completed… I hope they will accept that in addition to the essay.</p>
<p>Same, seems really short-breathed…aggghhh. I didn’t email them other stuff, just plain forgot about it. hmm anybody know some news about extensions or whatever?</p>
<p>Oh well…
I thought you finished most of the online app?</p>
<p>No. The website hasn’t updated anything.</p>
<p>Haha. I had exactly 2500 characters (with spaces). It was pretty tough as I thought every word was important. Hopefully all works out.</p>
<p>Exactly 2500?
Wow… that must have been hard to do. Good job! =D</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>Yeah, I had left out some ECs (like student government and previous camps). Maybe I put down student government, so it’s not a huge deal. Hmm, well I suppose we must wait.</p>
<p>LOL exactly 2500 means you are uber clutch lol</p>
<p>lol i had exactly 2500 characters too</p>
<p>^Haha another exactly 2500.
I feel bad now. I had 2502 =p</p>
<p>@big dreamer
Ohh, okay. That shouldn’t be a big deal then. :)</p>
<p>^Haha, wow 2 people with 2500 exactly, that’s awesome! </p>
<p>We find out decisions in April right guys?</p>
<p>haha well i submitted it on the website so i dont think it let me put more than 2500. </p>
<p>yep, i think on the website it said we would hear back from yess via email on april 12th? correct me if im wrong.</p>
