Common App Main essay - length ?

<p>This thread is very helpful!</p>

<p>Sorry to repeat, but I want to ask when the adcom reads it, do they do it online or do they print our application out ?</p>

<p>I imagine they print them out, but no one knows for certain. It also depends on the school. Everyone is different.</p>

<p>I’m not sure why it would matter though…that’s why you print preview before you send the CA to make sure none of the words were truncated.</p>

<p>My essay is no where near that long. I am trying to transfer from a small college in a rural area to one of 3 larger schools in a large urban area. My essay basically says while I am grateful for the experience in school 1, I am now looking for more diversity and greater choices. its about 250 works.</p>
