<p>The first supplement essay question for lehigh states "Why is Lehigh a good match for you? What contributions will you make to the academic experience and to campus life? (As a guideline, your response should be between 150-250 words.)" You have the choice of uploading it or copying and pasting your essay. However, if you copy and paste it it has to be under 1000 characters. So does the uploaded essay have to be under 1000 characters also?</p>
<p>do what they ask for and keep it between 150-250 words. they are accepting you, show them that you respect their instructions.</p>
<p>But what I was asking for was if I should edit my essay so that its under the 1000 character count. Right now my essay is like 230 words but 1600 characters.</p>
<p>^^ thats not a big problem. they are not going to count ur essay words by words. Just make sure it is somewhat around 250words…ur response must seem like having around 250 words. My response had 263 words and i submitted…
Go on with ur this response…
if possible , do make it short!!!</p>
<p>Yeah I’m not concerned with words because it says 150-250 words, I’m concerned about character count as I am approximately 600 over the limit if you copy and paste your essay. What I was wondering was is the character limit only for the copy and paste submission and not the upload version.</p>
<p>You’re fine, just upload it.</p>
<p>^ yeah ur fine…jst upload it</p>
<p>My son had the same problem and could copy and paste only one of the essays and had to upload the other one as it was over the character limit but under the word limit. You will be fine!</p>
