<p>I'm freaking out. I wrote all my Tufts supplemental essays within the required word limits, and when I went to the supplement online, instead of allowing students to upload a document, THEY GIVE CHARACTER COUNTS! Did Tufts totally lie about word count? 250 words DOES NOT EQUAL 1300 CHARACTERS*INCLUDING SPACES AND PUNCTUATION. </p>
<p>As you can tell, I'm extremely worried. There is NO WAY I'm redoing my essays*I worked so so hard on them, and they're great. I even emailed Tufts admissions my question. </p>
<p>Why do other colleges allow you to upload a document? Do I need to rewrite them? I'm on the verge of tears here.</p>
