<p>im applying online. for the personal statements part, can i just put "please see additional info" in the boxes? also, they say to "limit your answer to 7 lines or 500 characters." am i supposed to follow that strictly or it's okay to use the additional info part to write a longer (maybe 250 words) one?</p>
<p>They're reading over 30,000 applications...be kind. 250 words is alot...if those words aren't going to make/break you somehow, don't put 'em in and follow the recommendations(they recommend for a reason). Find someway to incorporate it into another part of the application(essay, etc)</p>
