<p>For Colgate, it asks how i found/learned about it and asks for it in 500 characters(not words). I answered its not specific at all because of the character limit. Is this okay or do they look for something that tells about my personality and that i did research? If they do, i have no idea how im supposed to do this with such limited space.</p>
<p>help=/</p>
<p>Does that include spaces or no? I agree, 500 characters either way is very short.
Be concise… a creative kind of concise. A lot of good essays are short, but greatly written.</p>
<p>500 characters.</p>
<p>i like eggs.</p>
<p>this would be 12 chars lol…</p>
<p>i just find it impossible lol. it obvioulst isnt but i just dont know how i can creatively write how i discovered it while showing them its the school i want to go to and i did my research on them</p>
<p>i recommend you to read a yale essay, 500 words but the auther shows a lot…lol 500 characters is shorter, but if you have a good idea, it is possible to have an outstanding essay. good luck</p>
<p>thank you but two more questions.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>for this 500 character “essay” do they look for specifics about the student body,school,faculty,etc. or do just just want a general how i found it(which is the question)? for example, would thye like a i found it on the web(of course not stating directly)</p></li>
<li><p>for essays like the commonapp essay and supplements, is it better to double or single space</p></li>
</ol>
<p>i finished. can someone read this 500 char thing and check for grammer and see if its even worth sending. i think i did a pretty bad job…idk if i answered the question and if my answer is something a school would accept…</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
