<p>Looking around on the site, i wasn't able to find anywhere to submit the Athletic Supplement Online, or even a copy of it under My Checklist or Supplements. The closest i could find is that U Penn uses the common application athletic supplement and it has an attached pdf file of it.</p>
<p>Does this mean we can only submit the athletic supplement by mail, and not online?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>Yes, by the traditional mail.</p>
<p>What is a good length for the common app essay? (the main one?) Is there an upper limit or a rough number to stick to??</p>
<p>I'd say one page to 1.5 pages. 500-650 words maybe? There is no real limit, but it just makes it easier for whoever reads the essays</p>
<p>
<p>So here's the problem.</p>
<p>Now, I have 3 pages, with the 3rd page describing what my summer programs were.</p>
<p>It sounds like too much, but I've cut it down as much as I could.</p>
<p>Is this length too much?
</p>
<p>Can someone answer this one please?</p>
<p>OK, question about the Short Answer section:</p>
<p>I am writing about my involvement in theater and I want to name plays, but I can't seem to do italics. Which kind of bothers me. Anyone know how to do italics? I tried copy/paste but it didn't work. Should I just not worry about this?</p>
<p>this whole time i was under the impression one could write another essay for the Additional info part, but now im not sure. i have another essay (1 page) about one of my ec's that i wanted to include here...is this ok or do they want like a paragrapgh or a list of whatever..? help please!</p>
<p>I included a supplemental essay because I had nothing else to put in the Add'l Info section, and I had 2 essays that I liked.</p>
<p>how do you delete a newly created application version? i did it by accident and now have an extra, so i want to get rid of it.</p>
<p>Sorry if this was answered before, but where can I put awards that I've gotten like for a contest at a national journalism convention.. am I supposed to put that under Academic Honors? Or additional info..?</p>
<p>if i volunteered at a lab over the summer, is it an activity or summer employment?</p>
<p>i listed all of my volunteer activities as ECs.</p>
<p>In the Writing section, unde the Short Answer about one of your activities:</p>
<p>Do we have to write about particular event in it, or can we just go broad with it? I wrote about one of my activities in a way "what kind of person you should be to do this" that is supposed to show what it has taught me about it. Do you think that's alright?</p>
<p>I just realized that my 2 teacher evalutions for Harvard both say Teacher Evalutation "1" on the bottom.. I need to send this off tomorrow or else I won't meet the application deadline.. Is it OK for me to have it like this? Do you think they'll notice? Is it much of a big deal??</p>
<p>Rosh - I bet those Harvard Adcoms will have no trouble figuring this out. do not worry!</p>
<p>Also Rosh - the postmark deadline is January 1. This doesn't mean it has to get in by that date.</p>
<p>Do colleges know how many colleges you've applied to through the common app?</p>
<p>engineering gal - No they do not.</p>
