<p>Probably a dumb question, but I was wondering whether the online applications have set word limits or they let you stretch things a little bit. Like when it says 250 words, does it only let you write 250 words on the application online? Also, can I submit teacher recs/transcripts etc the day before application deadline (Nov. 1) or am I screwed. Will October SAT scores be sent in time for a Nov 1 deadline? Someone please respond to these simple questions.</p>
