<p>I have a lot to say about why I'm applying to my top choice school. I have cut out things that seemed trivial, but it's still over 2000 characters (and almost 350 words!). The school allows me to upload the document, so I'm not really worried about space, but will they hate me if it is this long and I send it? They didn't provide a word limit...they just said it needed to be a paragraph long.</p>
