<p>I just wrote my "most appealing about Columbia" answer. It's really short, and I'm thinking maybe too short. I'd love any thoughts if someone wants to read it. Thanks!</p>
<p>Seriously now, 35 people have seen this and not one person will take the 10 seconds required to read my answer. </p>
<p>Please!</p>
<p>mines 123 words...</p>
<p>its supposed to be really short... the space they give you on the online app is ridiculous..</p>
<p>I haven't applied to Columbia but I've frequently visited and I'd be happy to read it.</p>
<p>What is the character count (I havent submitted part one yet)? Also, does the character count include spaces?</p>
<p>I'll take a 4 second gander pm</p>
<p>NVM I figured it out. But seriously, 400 characters is soooo limiting!</p>
<p>400 characters? i squeezed just under 600 by hand on the paper app</p>
<p>400 is like my grad write up lol</p>
<p>Actually its more like 575, because the bottom rows hold more characters.</p>
<p>I didn't realize that the lines held different numbers of characters. Mine is 271 characters, with spaces. I'm pm-ing you, marinny. Thanks!</p>
<p>Bananas, your space is used up.</p>
<p>ok pm me</p>
<p>Mine was about 91 words, but I think I got my point across. Hey by the way, if you're going to send your essays and stuff here's a good litmus test to see if you can send it:
Either the member has been here for 3 or more months
The member has above 250 posts</p>
<p>To me, that would lessen the chance that they might use your essays, etc.</p>
<p>i'll take a look - pm me.</p>
<p>yea, but i'm applying rd, but then again i'd never ask to see someone's essays i'd always feel like i stole an idea or something</p>
<p>i'll look at it. pm it to me.</p>
<p>Actually, I'm going to rewrite it. haha. Thanks, though!! I'll hit you up when I redo it.</p>
<p>The online version gives you nearly no space at all to write it, I think I could only fit three sentences.</p>
<p>yea.. I had to edit about 20 times to get everything I wanted to say to fit in the online app. all i can say if that I dont know if my answer's good or not.. but it sure is very concise</p>
