<p>For some odd reason I assumed 500 Characters to mean 500 words
I was VERY VERY WRONG!
I wrote 2 amazing essays for my Famous New Yorker supplement only to find that I am limited to 500 characters. </p>
<p>SOMEONE PLEASE COME SHOOT ME!</p>
<p>omgg i did the same thingsssssss!!! Im just handwriting my stuff so maybe i’ll have a little more space</p>
<p>I highly doubt NYU would want to read like 500 words for each of their 5 or so supplement prompts. Next time read the directions. 
Since you have so much already you should be able to cut it down into something succinct and intelligent.</p>
<p>wait, does 500 characters mean 500 letters?</p>
<p>^Yes it does (including spaces and punctuation).
I was just being an idiot.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>organic’s statement is false. 500 characters does not necessarily mean 500 letters, as characters can include non-letters (including spaces and punctuation).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>organic, I would be glad to shoot you. Please provide me with your location and I will be there with a rifle aimed at your head.</p>
<p>someone has issues… :O</p>
