<p>why is there such a TINY character limit for the supplements? I can barely even BEGIN to explain why I want to go to Skidmore</p>
<p>Oh yes, it is tough to get a complex point across in only 700 characters! I was wondering if it would be possible to print out the supplementary app and then get around the character limit?</p>
<p>I think that would annoy me if I were an admissions officer. They clearly want something succinct and pithy. For those who are applying next year, consider it a challenge. Focus on one or two interesting reasons to attend the school, but don't just regurgitate the stuff they use to sell the place. D worked over that question for ages, but finally came up with a good product.</p>
