<p>my roommate one is about 1/2 pages single spaced on default font default margins.</p>
<p>I heard you can "mess" with the margins a bit. but will the ADCOM notice this? and can you do this if u send ur essays online?</p>
<p>You can't mess with the margins online. You must stick to the character count which is 1400-1500 characters. Also, a half a page is too much, I highly doubt it will fit.</p>
<p>a page and a half? i said one half of a page</p>
<p>word coutn: 372
character coutn: 1575 (no spaces)</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry thats what I meant. Its 1400-1500 characters WITH spaces. I'm not sure if the paper application will give more room.</p>
<p>read: character count 1400 characters with spaces.</p>
<p>if you try anything longer, they cut your essay off midway.</p>
<p>ouch thats harsh. i'm at 1800 with spaces</p>
<p>It's 1500 with spaces on the app. Theo the other two are 1600.</p>
<p>hint:
take out the extra spaces between sentences if you double spaced there. also, line break instead of indent--that is one character instead of five.</p>
