<p>Hey, prospectives. I was wondering how long should the 'replace the moniker' essay be.
Mine's treading to a dangerously long length, and I know how brevity is almost always rewarding, but i wanted to just see what you guys out there were doing...</p>
<p>Anyone...?</p>
<p>well, they say 2000 characters. assuming you use fairly average-length words, that’s about 300 words.</p>
<p>driftwood, thanx. I saw the upload button and i kinda missed the given limit.</p>
<p>yeah about that upload button… if you upload and its longer than 2000 characters is that a problem?</p>
<p>No one can be sure, but i think it isn’t. Judging by the limits on all my supplements, I think the commonapp people ask colleges to choose between character count options, and colleges choose between them as approximates, because so far, I’ve seen either 4000, 2000 or 1000 or 700, or 150. And they couldn’t all have specified just these limits out of coincidence.</p>
<p>I’m a little under the 2000 c cieling, but on my response to the “how did you learn about Grinnell?” question is a a little over, and I’m not concerned.</p>
<p>Thanks! now if I could only finish my grinnell essays… so hard!
good luck maybe we’ll be friends next year!</p>
<p>i know, the moniker question took a little time for me too, but I’ve pulled it together finally…
Grinnell is totally my top choice, I really really hope I get in…</p>
<p>All the best to you too… lets hope we both get lucky =)</p>
