<p>OK, you know the part where the Yale supp says "What influenced your decision to apply to Yale?"? Well, I forgot to fill that out and since it isn't "required," the CommonApp didn't catch the fact that I forgot to answer the question. Am I doomed?</p>
<p>Umm, well, that's the "Why Yale" essay so if possible, do send something in! Contact the admissions office and ask if you can fax/e-mail/snail mail your response to them instead.</p>
<p>^^^^ it wasn't an essay was it??? I just wrote a couple of sentences. the common app website had a character limit of 300.</p>
<p>If it's a limit of 300 characters, its not an essay i don't think..</p>
