God! Spaces on the app. is extremely limited!

<p>I tried filling out Princeton university's application form with data-entry fields and found that the spaces are far too limited for sufficient detail (which I assume is the same as the online application)</p>

<p>Firstly, when I found that I didn't have enough space to even fill out my positions in the "Interests/Activities" coloumns, I thought I could perhaps use the "Academic Honors" section to write my awards down.</p>

<p>The result was, I couldn't list more than 5 awards due to space limitation even after ommitting which club/activity I had won the award for.</p>

<p>The ironic part was that I had even more space to write for "My favorite Book" section than the "academic honors" or "positions/honors won" for "interests/activities" coloumn.</p>

<p>I'm sure that this is the same case for most applications of other universities.</p>

<p>People have responded that I should attach a seperate page listing the things I wasn't able to write down, but does this imply that I would have to send it by paper? Sending the application online and sending an attachment through mail seems like a very tedious job for the admission officers.</p>

<p>How did you solve this problem?</p>

<p>the awards are not like olympiad medals, but rather state/county level ones, although some say that only add an attachment if it significantly helps representing you...</p>

<p>I have just opened the online application and found out that there is more than enough space to write; 175 words. My BIG mistake. I thought online app. will be identical to the data-entry app.</p>

<p>Just out of curiousity:</p>

<p>Will the admission officers print out the online application form?
or will they see it through their monitors?</p>

<p>I have checked out online applications from other schools and realized that Princeton is very generous in terms of space. Other colleges usually only has around 50 available words for you to describe your activities.</p>

<p>It also limits the number of academic honors or the AP scores you've received to usually 7 and 6. Princeton on the other hand, allows you to add more coloumns.</p>

<p>I also noticed that they limit the SATII scores to three or four.</p>

<p>This post has become very hectic. I'll sum up my question:</p>

<p>1) Although not required, shouldn't you theoratically send it your AP scores along with your SAT scores to confirm the AP scores you have listed? </p>

<p>2) People have responded that I should attach a seperate page listing the awards/honors I wasn't able to write down, but does this imply that I would have to send it by paper? </p>

<p>Sending the application online and sending an attachment through mail seems like a very tedious job for the admission officers.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
