Character Limit vs. Word Limit

<p>Brown’s Common App supplement has character limits. When I do a print preview, I see a word limit. My essays are under the character limit and over the word limit. I wonder if this is okay. I know I can get a definite answer by emailing admissions, but I’m interested in how other people are approaching this.</p>

<p>i was told by adcoms that as long as you can preview it ( within character limits) you will be fine.</p>

<p>I took a risk and followed the C limit… it fits well though…</p>

<p>Does the on-line app not just cut you off when you reach the limit?</p>
