<p>Am I reading this right? On the Penn specific online app, the “fun” essay and “prof” essay can only be 300 characters?</p>
<p>HOW DO WE DO THIS? lol
I thought 300 WORDS was short. Yikes.</p>
<p>lol
yep... sounds like me a few days before the nov 1st deadline. </p>
<p>u read right. its 300 Characters, not words. and if ur doing the penn specific app, it includes spaces.
mwahaha</p>
<p>go for the common app, you get 500 characters (but then again, you write an extra essay)</p>
<p>the fun that is college applications =/</p>
<p>spaces too?! omg!</p>
<p>question. if i did part 1 of the penn specific app, can i call and have it deleted so i can do the common app?</p>
<p>answering in 300 characters isnt bad ... you just have to be ......creative!</p>
<p>and very painfully brief. i have so much to say tho. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr</p>
<p>I don't think they want u to think about it too much. I think they are prolly like, well if we give them less space, they will talk normally and not use fancy words. meaning they want to hear the "real u"</p>
<p>do u get what I am saying? don't write it in slang or what not though, but dont stress too much over it</p>
