<p>Hi,</p>
<p>For some reason the Stanford supplement is saying that I'm over the limit for the short essays even though it says "3 characters remaining".</p>
<p>Anyone else having this problem? Must I cut down to make it fit? AHH this is so annoying because I spent ages working on the character limit.</p>
<p>Yeah I had that problem too. First with 0 characters remaining, then with 4, then with 8. I cut it down to 32 and it accepted, but I really would like my original ending back.</p>
<p>There may be a problem with the spacing between paragraphs. I put in a whole line between my paragraphs, and I tried copying and pasting from Word and it wouldn’t work because the spacing was all weird.</p>
<p>Hmmm… It seems ok when I have 8 characters remaining. I hate cutting down! Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is what happened to me too, and I had to cut stuff I wish I hadn’t had to. :-/ Good luck!</p>
<p>i’m having the same trouble with spacing, but i can’t work mine out that easily…
my essay has a poem in it (albeit a short one) and it’s spaced pretty long vertically. i have 18 characters left and the common app site says it’s okay, but when i clicked on the print preview, it cut my essay off.</p>
<p>the essay kind of dies without the poem in it…do you think that i should take out the poem and make the essay fit, or leave it?</p>
<p>What matters is the print preview, since Stanford prints them out to read. So if it cuts off, you need to do SOMETHING to get it all to fit.</p>
<p>craapola. thank you thank you thank you though.</p>
