<p>Hey guys</p>
<p>So I just noticed that in the preview of my Stanford supplement, my essays were cut off, even though they fit perfectly in the box. What should I do?</p>
<p>Do you think Stanford still see they'll see the whole essay, or should I contact the Admission Office? (even though they're out till January 6th now..) </p>
<p>Would really appreciate any insight on the matter or if anyone is going through the same thing.</p>
<p>Also, I have yet to get a confirmation from Stanford that they received my application! I got a confirmation from pretty much every other college, and still waiting on my first choice! ahh</p>
<p>They won’t see the whole essay so you should contact them</p>
<p>If the omission was integral to your essay, contact them, but only if it was integral.</p>
<p>When did you submit your application? O_O I haven’t gotten a notification from them yet…</p>
<p>^ thanks for the replies guys. </p>
<p>That’s a lot of green there CantConcentrate lol
I submitted my application on 1/1! every other college before, but I kept checking and rechecking Stanford’s essays because that’s my first choice, and then this happens. </p>
<p>I just sent them an email, so we’ll see what happens. For the letter to roommate essay it’s not that critical, it just cut from “see you soon,” and cut the last “P.S.” sentence. But for the first essay, one paragraph was gone, and it’s the most important paragraph that would tie the whole thing together. So yes that one is critical…</p>
<p>You should have print previewed the supplement man.</p>
<p>But all that aside, mine were cut off, and I just had to merge some paragraphs. It’s unfortunate cause it kills the flow of the essays sometimes.</p>
<p>The problem is that I couldn’t get it to work at all. I tried a 3 computers and 4 different browsers at home, and it STILL didn’t work. so I just made sure it’s within the characters limit.</p>
<p>Just this morning though, I was at a friend’s house, and it worked. But then I found that it was cut… </p>
<p>Hopefully they’ll be lenient enough and let me update, or add. But still you’re right, I shouldn’t have submitted without previewing. Should’ve checked more.</p>
<p>Be careful – out of all the colleges I’ve applied to, Stanford is no doubt the most strict when it comes to things like this. It certainly doesn’t hurt to ask (because there will be so many emails from other students about problems), but just be wary.</p>
<p>the character count does not count line breaks and new lines in validation but the submitted version does. you need to clean up line breaks and preview the essay.</p>
