essays and reccs

<p>I am starting my applications for the Fall 2007 year,
and all the applications that I am filling out have a couple of short answer "essay" topics followed by 4 - 5 lines for space to write. Are we supposed to write within that minimum space, or can we type the responses and attach. I read the application over and over and it doesnt say what to do anywhere....
also, some application (like the NYU one) only offer one form for teacher reccomendation....am i supposed to request more, find them on the website, make a copy of the one that i was given??</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
