<p>The last sentence of my common app short extracurricular essay got cut off
it was not over 150 words, i guess it was just taking up too much space (less than 1000 characters too). What should I do?
... should i try to send them the full version?
Or just leave this alone...</p>
<p>edit your short essay and get it within the limit… Don’t take any unnecessary risks.</p>
<p>no i mean i already submitted! the submitted version was truncated.
what should i do?</p>
<p>how do you know it was truncated?</p>
<p>My son had a glitch with a supplement - he was under the allowed character count, but it kept cutting off some of the text. He ended up sending it as an attachment instead of in the text box.</p>
<p>You could always email the PDF file to the admissions office and say it looks like it may have been cut off, so here it is just in case. Stress that it is the same essay as what you already sent - not a revision.</p>
