Question about Short Answer for CommonApp

<p>It says 150 words or fewer but then it says I still have 3500 characters left?</p>

<p>What is the actual limit?</p>

<p>150 words is definitely the limit. The character limit is so absurdly large that just in case I want to have all of my 150 words have 15 letters, it will still fit.</p>

<p>No more than 10% over the limit is what I've been told. This is testing to see if you can write concisely.</p>

<p>Mine was 200. Oh well. :)</p>
