<p>Is there a cap on the essay length when submitting it online? I want to start and send my application online (along with my essays), but I’m afraid if my essays are slightly over the limit or something, the entire thing won’t fit. Will this happen?</p>
<p>Help!!</p>
<p>yes there is a cap. online short responses can be no longer than 300 characters (which includes spacing, punctuation...)</p>
<p>Is there a cap for the length of either essay response?</p>
<p>Not sure, but in the CSM article on the admissions page, they say something about getting a 6-page essay. I don't think the thing'll get fritzed altogether if you send in a long essay, though maybe it'll tell u the thing is too long.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure there's not. But that doesn't mean send in a 100-page essay either.</p>
<p>It looks like mine will be a page long (but a page isn't 500 words or so using font 12, Times New Roman!). What's the recommended word limit by the way? It says a "page", but is a "page" a specific number of words? Thanks!!</p>
<p>It says a page? I really need to pay attention. I was making mine 500 words. Hmmm....now I want to know too</p>
<p>or maybe a page means a page. Maybe if they print out your essays to read in the ad. office, and its 500 words and has 3 lines on a second page, that'd get annoying (and unneccesarily kill another tree)</p>
<p>I don't think they'd blame you for running over onto a second page.</p>
<p>I thought I was stressed out.</p>
<p>I dont think 3 extra lines is gonna kill my admit hopes. But i think if u fill a page you're good.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I was actually really pleasantly surprised at this. I'm a very concise writer (doesn't mean low quality) and I was dreading these essays. I thought they had to be 3 page things.</p>
