<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm a bit confused. On the header for the short answer questions on the CommonApp Supplement it says: Respond in two lines or less, and do not feel compelled to answer using complete sentences.</p>

<p>But then gives us 300 characters in which to respond.</p>

<p>What does this mean? Can we use all 300 characters? Are we supposed to cram everything into two lines of the box?</p>

<p>i took it as two sentences…</p>

<p>I took it as “go up to the character limit”. You’ll be fine if it’s more than two lines as long as it falls within the char limit.</p>

<p>^agreed. that’s what i did.</p>
