Stupid Online App -- Help!

<p>How did you guys deal with the online app curtailing your responses even though they were within the character limits? all of my answers have been curtailed and I am really not liking this because I was under the limit on all of them! grr.....</p>

<p>That happened to me last year. I ended up printing them out so they fit in the box on the paper app/printed version of online app and sent it in, because it didn't appear wrong until AFTER I'd hit submit.</p>

<p>take out all your returns and don't leave so much space after each sentence.</p>

<p>that's what I did.....turned my brain to mush before I got it right!</p>

<p>1598... almost there...</p>

<p>1531! gotta get rid of a few more words</p>

<p>if it's between 1400-1500, are you allowed to go below 1400?</p>

<p>I gave up on the online app and manually edited the PDF files using Adobe.</p>

<p>You're allowed to be wayyyy under, but not a single character over. If you're doing online (which I would not recommend), I suggest you check the character number on the actual application, not using Word or some word processing program, because they're sometimes different.</p>

<p>I know its sometimes quirky...but online apps make life SOOOO much easier. I know, I tried to do it on a typewriter. Took me 20 min to do what I could do in 1 min on the comp.</p>
