<p>I have a question: when I mail out the final application, do I send out everything in a big manilla envelope? I don't think everything will fit in a regular sized one.</p>
<p>gxing, that's what i did--
sent everything out in big yellow envelope :)</p>
<p>One more question - for the short answers, is it okay to go past the word limit? It says 150-250 but I have about 350...is that okay? Thanks!</p>
<p>yea, i went over the limit for like all of my essays last year haha</p>
<p>I was rejected from SSP last year, but I was still accepted into Caltech!</p>
<p>congrats Durran</p>
<p>but still.....i dunno.....i still wanna go, though i've just received a email saying that i got waitlisted.....which means a polite rejection, i guess</p>
<p>anywho...gxing, i would not recommend you to go past the limit by a 100 words....20 or less should be ok....but then again, who am i to tell you what to do? ;)</p>
<p>if you really feel that these extra 100 words are necessary, go for it
if you can get rid of them, i'd do it...</p>
