<p>I posted about a month ago and was told that the character count for the first two essays is 1500 and the last essay is 1400. However, I called the Stanford office and they said the character count for all the 3 is 1400. Have any of you submitted part one? Can anyone verify the exact character count?</p>
<p>I think it s supposed to be 250 for each of the short essays and 500 for the long one.</p>
<p>first two short essays - 1400-1500 character limit
third short essay - 1300-1400 character limit</p>
<p>as far as the long essay - this is what they say
The text box below will accommodate approximately 4800 characters of plain, unformatted text; you must use spaces instead of the tab key to indent a paragraph. If you prefer to submit a document using tabbed indents, bold or italicized text, or any other formatting styles, you should use the "upload" feature instead. Be sure to view your essay in PDF format before submitting to assure that it appears as you intend.</p>
<p>Is that with or without spaces?</p>
<p>all of the boxes count characters including spaces.</p>
<p>Shoot..I have 1811 on the first one with indentions</p>
<p>By the way, whats the acceptable limit? How much can I go over?</p>
<p>I am over wayyy over the limit on all essays....time to cut out the redundant parts!</p>
<p>Ok, I'm not applying online, but through the paper edition. Is there a PDF file I can download and actually type in it and print it off?</p>
<p>I'm using the paper app too. I'm thinking of typing and actually pasting things on. Maybe, that'll be a little complicated. Somebody, help?</p>
<p>You can type it in, or you can type it on a separate page and paste it, or, if you are not lazy, you can formate your Word document in a way that when you print it on the "essay" page of the application, your assays will fit into the spaces provided for them.</p>
<p>wouldn't it be quite small that way?</p>
