<p>Did you apply online or offline?
Which would you recommend? (Since I heard that the online version truncates your message if it's too long...)</p>
<p>i applied online.
yeap the online version truncates your essays if they're too long. </p>

<p>actually, they meant 1500 characters.</p>
<p>You can also send the common app online and the supp offline. That way, you don't need to be afraid that your short essays will be truncated if it exceeds 1500c</p>
<p>Really?? are you sure??</p>
<p>wait what???? all my essays were over except one...both 250 ones were like 300...they definitely truncate it? it didn't when I looked at the review/print option...</p>
<p>or are you talking just about the Common app one? because I did Princeton's version.</p>
<p>preview it before you send it. then you will see how much u need to cut.</p>
<p>babybird, I think it's just the common app one - I did the Princeton app, and mine didn't truncate at all.</p>
<p>ok, i feel better...whew</p>
