<p>one of my princeton's essays is around 330
and i didnt know until today, that online CA suplements would be that tricky. it really cut anything beyond the limit.
my rough draft was about 600 and i have tried to shorten it a lot. (it's my favorite essay so far :D)
i think i wouldnt be able to shorten it ANYMORE without losing really really important stuffs (i already lost many information, feelings and tones)</p>

<p>does anyone have this problem?</p>

<p>now I am thinking about just putting "see an additional information" and paste&copy my essay onto an additional information box.
(i mean if i were to use the paper application, it would be fine to just fit 330 word essay you know)</p>

<p>what should i do? any advices will be appreciated. thanks.</p>

<p>thats fine my essays were like</p>

<p>340, 360, 620, 760 (optional)</p>

<p>i was accepted so i dont think they care that much. just as long as ur short ones arent like 600 and ur long ones arent like 900</p>

<p>is 399, 460, and 680 ok? i guess mine went from short to medium to longer. o well, i've already submitted them anyhow so i can't change anything now.</p>

<p>Hey, the Adcom has thousands of apps to go over. You get admitted or denied in a minute or less. There's no time. For all they care, they may just glance at your essay, if it's long and boring, too bad.</p>

<p>BUt if it's long and interesting, Bingo! But then, try and stick to the rules.</p>
