Going off of the coalition application, I assumed that the word count set would be what UF would be going off of for the length of my essay. However, it wasn’t until after I submitted my application when I noticed that they put a character limit of 2500, including spaces. My essay totals up to 3,240 characters with spaces. What can I do to fix this little disaster?
Why don’t you call them and tell them and see if they will let you attach the right version since it is still within the Nov. 15th due date. I think that is your only option.
Where did you see that? I uploaded my document, and it shows the whole essay was loaded. I have a similar length essay as yours.
I contacted them. As long as the entire essay downloaded, you are fine.
The character limit was listed in the essay information section on the UF admissions page
Is it advisable to go over the 2500 character limit? I want to fit in as much as possible so should I aim for ~3,000?
