<p>Just a quick question...</p>
<p>When a university asks to write max: 1000 characters...</p>
<p>Does the characters include spaces? I am leaning towards no... but wanted to make sure.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes it does. Good luck.</p>
<p>Spaces are included. Also, 1000 characters does not necessarily mean words.</p>
