<p>do you think it's alright if some of my answers are only like 570 to 650ish characters? how crucial is it to "use up" all available characters?? would you strongly recommend it or if you feel you've answered the question honestly, it's okay? I don't have much time to submit my common app :\ procrastination is bliss.</p>
<p>p.s. who else dislikes the 'emphasis' question?</p>
<p>I don't know which application you are using, but on the common app. all it says is that it will "limit your response to 750 characters", so i think the point is that they want it to be shorter than that, so i think you are completley fine, they are just trying to keep people from writing really long essays</p>
<p>I would have disliked the "emphasis" question, but if you just do NYU's app they don't ask you that one. It's only on the supplement, so I avoided having to answer that one. Yes!</p>
