Question on the Term Paper: Princeton’s Admissions page states there is no file limit size on the graded term paper. However, when you try and upload the file on the common app, it say it’s limited to 2,000KB. My term paper is 5MB (it’s an 11 pg term paper plus teacher comments.). Please, any advice??? I need to submit common app asap. Thank YOU!!
We had the same problem with the Amherst application and S19’s paper. We’ve decided to just send a hard copy. It’s an option. He emailed them yesterday and they said they have a two week buffer to receive anything so he can get it to them by 1/14. Maybe try emailing princeton and see if that’s an option for you.
My original paper was around 3500 MB, and I was able to compress it to under 700 using this site: https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf
Of course, it only works for PDFs, though, so you’d have to convert it if you wanted to use it.
Sorry, I meant 3500 KB, not MB.
Thank you! We got it to work!!
