<p>how long can the common app essay be. my personal statement (topic of your choice) looks to be bordering 1000 words....will they take it?</p>
<p>That's way too long. If you send me it I can cut it down for you, I have nothing to do during the day on break, because everyone works and I'm useless.</p>
<p>ok. i'm almost done. so i'll send it you when i finish it, hopefully quite soon. :)</p>
<p>umm, Question: what's the postmark deadline for additional materials, the 2nd or the 31st, if 1 jan is a sunday?</p>
<p>I would think Cornell will accept things that are postmarked by Jan 2nd . . since the first is a Sunday</p>
<p>Even if your common app/recommendation aren't postmarked by the 2nd, maybe by like the fourth, i doubt they'll get it and be like OMG OMG 2 DAYS LATE REJECT!</p>
<p>yeah. sorry i just looked it up anyway, guess i didnt even need to ask in the first place. oh, well. idk what i'm concerned about, both recs are in the mail, and the SSR.</p>
