<p>I've strictly made sure that my essay is not over 3000 characters. When I paste my short essay into the box on common app it shows me I still have another 67 characters, but when I print preview, I have one entire paragraph cut off? </p>
<p>Does this mean I'll just have to shorten my essay... by a lot?</p>
<p>Advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>No, you won't have to shorten your essay. See question #14 in this post:

<p>geek mom, thanks a lot! I was about to start a panicky thread:) It's confusing cause it only happened once, with the Oberlin essay</p>
