<p>Alright, there's this one question on the writing samples that asks you to elaborate on one of your activities. However, it says to do so in 150 WORDS or less, but it also says that your response can have 3500 CHARACTERS which is wayyyyyy more than 150 words. </p>

<p>What exactly does this mean??? How long can my answer be????</p>

<p>i'll bump this for you</p>

<p>It means 150 words. The character limit is simply a software issue - it's how many characters the field can accept, not how many it should accept.</p>

<p>Keep it short and sweet.</p>
