<p>anything can do to make it looks better!!!! or do not apply online but on paper? OMG</p>
<p>did it occur to you that if yours looks like that, then so will everyone else's who applies online? and you mean crowded on the left side of the form, right? it's fine...</p>

<p>hi don't jack other people's thread, start your own, thanks=p I'm sure the op doesnt appreciate this.</p>
<p>as for the online application, it was disscussed in another thread during ED and everyone agreed that it was very un-user-friendly. the part about characters crowding the left side happens for everyone so don't worry about it. but the really annoy part is the character limits for EACH line. especially for the why columbia question and why engineering question.</p>
<p>yeah, that was a sun of a *****! wow. i wanted to do paper app bad, but they prefer OL, so....</p>
<p>plus i'm penmanship-ing at like a second grade level, so maybe not a terrible sentiment, doing it OL</p>
<p>thanks lynda</p>
<p>sorry, I'm new to this board. didn't mean to "jack" anything</p>
