<p>What do I do if I realize that the activity descriptions in one of my applications is cut short?</p>
<p>Change it to fit.</p>
<p>You are smart to use the common app preview so you can figure out exactly how much text fits in each space. Depending on how your schools elect to download and view your app, they might see the version you see in preview, or they might see everything you type even the text that is cut-off in the preview version. It’s best to keep your answers short enough to be fully visible in the preview screen.</p>
<p>The problem is, I already submitted this application. Should I notify the school?</p>
<p>Unless there is something critical, leave it. If you have some schools remaining, you can make a new copy of your common app and change the descriptions before you send it.</p>
<p>You should be fine, it’s not your fault.</p>
