Princeton requires the submission of a graded paper as part of the application. The Common App only accepts PDF or Word documents, so I’ve been trying to upload the 3 pictures of the 3 pages of the assignment as a Word doc, but it’s 3.9MB in size and exceeds the 2000KB limit. I’m thinking of typing out the assignment again and sending it as a text file, but I’d have to type out the grade and the teacher’s comments as well, which I don’t think is advisable. Does anyone know if the 2000KB limit applies to uploading the paper directly to the Princeton applicant portal as well? Any other suggestions are welcome too.
Use a PDF Compressor tool online (PDFLove/SmallPDF) and just compress it my man. It should retain most of the quality too so you don’t have to worry about that.
