<p>I was wondering if someone could critique and edit my extracurricular short answer for the common app. The limit is 1000 characters but I'm at about 1100 and I need some help cutting it down. Any advice is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I was able to get it down to 999 characters! 
I had to cheat a little, putting one space between sentences instead of two… lol but thanks for the help and I chanced back!</p>
