<p>Since the apps are all due by now, do you guys want to each submit like the top 3 strengths of your application?</p>
<p>A school profile’s a basic form that encompasses the AP courses offered at your school as well as the school’s accreditation and general location. Drop by your school’s guidance office to request a form!</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me the word/character limit on the optional essay? Is it 300 words or 3000 characters?</p>
<p>@sgdreams,
the school profile also gives the admissions an idea of the intensity of the courses at your school and an average grade of the student body at your school which they compare that to what you have. for example, SOME public schools have grade inflations, and 3.9s and 4.0s are COMPARATIVELY more common placed as opposed to som private schools that tend towards a grade deflation where very few ppl get up to 3.8s or higher.</p>
<p>@scrive786,
The optional essay is 3000 characters meaning you can type 3000 letters + punctuations.</p>
