<p>The Supp App says 200 words/2000 characters -- S's stuff falls within the 2000 characters, but is over 200 words. Common App will not let him submit for the Why Tufts and Let Your Life Speak essays. Gives him an error and will not let him save. On the other hand, he is over the word limit/under character limit on the optional essay and it's fine.</p>
<p>HELP! Does he have to butcher his essays even more to get 200 words?</p>
