Harvard Supplement Essay

<p>So I was wondering...for the essay, they give you two options - to write it in or upload a document. If you look closely at the box where you can directly type it in, it says "2000 Characters left in your response", but if you upload a document, you can use as many characters as you want.</p>

<p>Do you think Harvard will really care if I upload a document that's 3000 characters long (including spaces)? It sounds like it's a lot, but it's only one healthy extra paragraph. Do you think they'll check in the word document? (I doubt that people will actually write it in the box and thus will fail to see the character limit!)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Well considering that Harvard lets you submit as much supplementary stuff as you want, I doubt they will care even if they do notice. But then again, its always good to follow the rules.</p>
