<p>On the supplement it says that the essay should be about one page and gives a limit of 7500 characters. Although my essay (single space, 12 pt font) is one full page, it is only 3500 characters (counting spaces because the common app counts spaces). Will that be OK or is it too short?</p>

<p>I read someone posted something about the 10% rule: you're not suppose to deviate from the limit by 10%.</p>

<p>llol don't worry for the character limit!! for the 150 word one in the original common app, they gave you 3500 chars.... now how are you going to fill close to that?</p>
