i just finished a 500 word essay that was beautifully thought out only to realize it said 500 characters…
<p>Lol. Sorry man. Just gotta let it go... And I am sure you can take that beautiful organization and condense it.</p>
<p>500 characters?! that's less than 100 words. That's terrible.</p>
<p>On the bright side, you'll read questions and prompts that much more carefully in the future.</p>
<p>Which university was that? I've never seen any essay or short question that counts characters.</p>
<p>Why Columbia? only gives you 500 characters, and you get less then that because the text doesn't wrap, you have to enter it line by line (grrrrrr)</p>
<p>it was UPENN</p>
<p>how can you possibly say anything in 500 characters... that's less than an average paragraph...</p>
<p>lol u wanna shoot urself over that? ahaha dont shoot urself, if u do, u wont be able to shoot urself a scond time when (ahah i mean IF) you get rejected from Penn. lol!!</p>
<p>500 characters? That's approx 100 words, assuming you don't count a space as a character...less than half a double-spaced page. That's not an essay...that's a short answer.</p>
<p>IIRC, Penn asked what the most important moment in history was and why for a short response question. On the paper app they gave you 3 lines and told you to use the space provided and nothing else. </p>
<p>100 words sounds alright for 3 lines.</p>
<p>try rewrtng it wth no vwls. use vry shrt wrds!</p>
<p>lol im sure that'll get u in</p>
