<p>Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble fitting your additional comments within the 550-character limit?! I thought there was a 550-WORD limit but it seems like they cut it down even more this year. I can barely fit any important information in, and 550 characters comes out to about HALF of an average paragraph, or 2-3 sentences. It's coming to a point where I have to strip down and eliminate so many words out of a sentence that it doesn't provide much additional information...</p>

<p>Anyone have any suggestions of how to get around this?</p>

<p>There is an Additional Comments section at the end of Academic History that has a *character *limit of 550. There is ANOTHER Additional Comments section at the end of Personal Statement that has a word limit of 550.</p>
