<p>Just a post I've posted cause I know a lot of people have concerns over the limited space.</p>

<p>I called Columbia today with regards to the limited space they offer on the application. They said that while it is possible to do the paper application, they strongly suggest that people "follow rules" and submit it only if they don't have internet. I asked if I could continue the rest of my application on paper (submitted part I online), they said... quote "Why would you do that if you have internet?" I explained to them the space limitations and they said that they insured that the space is "the same", but the bottom line is, they WOULD STRONGLY DISCOURAGE people from submitting paper apps... so yea... Guess we're going to have to deal with it. </p>

<p>It would be good though if someone else can call and confirm, because I may just have gotten someone on a bad day. Keep posting.</p>

<p>Stick to the online app. They have limitations for a reason. I know it's annoying because I went through the same app last year, and spent a lot of time revising my answer and condensing it. In the end, I found that my answers came out clearly and got to the point, so try that.</p>
