question about common app online

<p>so it says how all text beyond certain limits will be truncated like its a big deal and all
and my essay is wayyyy over the 500 word limit
the thing is that in my pdf preview, the whole thing is there and it even seems like there is extra room left. nothing at all was cut off.
so are they just bluffing with the whole text limits? b/c it says that the admissions office will recieve it exactly as it is seen on the pdf file.</p>

<p>seems like it. lots of people were way over the limit and had no problems.</p>

<p>sweet!!
this is great! if only brown's application was like that too.</p>

<p>well as long as its like that for other people too, i guess its ok.
i dont understand why they made such a big deal out of it though.. oh well. im not complaining :)</p>

<p>mine had trouble when the text was over the limit</p>

<p>I waz not able to preview my commonapp supplements.. it gave me some "file damaged" error. did anyone else have that prob?</p>
