<p>One section says "(Please limit your answer to 40 words or fewer)". Well after having 40 words, the box still allows you to type words. Is it okay if I have 44 words? Will they think I can't follow directions?</p>
<p>Also, is it fine to list the awards in bullet format for the "description of activity and role"?</p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>Yes and yes.</p>
<p>Edit: They actually will not allow you to move on if you have more than 40 words..</p>
<p>Actually, they do. As long as it's under ~60, they will. (It let me anyway, but then again I shortened it, so I don't know if it would require me to shorten in before I submitted it).</p>
<p>I tried to save my activities page, but it would not allow me, saying that I went over the word limit on one of my description boxes.</p>
<p>How much over. If it's too long, it will do that, but if it's just a 'bit' over, then it won't.</p>
<p>I checked the word count on word, and it was around 41-2, and the app form would not accept it. Sometimes when its exactly 40 words, the app won't except it.</p>
<p>I think it's based on the length of the short essay, not the word count. I tend to use short words, which may be why it let me add more. Where you may use longer words, which caused you to put less.</p>
<p>Lol it is so funny, I've been trying desperately to whiddle mine down from 42 to 40!</p>
