<p>Hi, I have an app due tonight for BU. The character count is 250 words, and I have 238 words. However, the common app itself (not the BU supplement instructions) has a 1200 character limit, which my essay exceeds by 300+ characters. However, I was able to paste my essay in, and on the PRINT PREVIEW, it's all there. But still, that "-353 characters" below the box still bugs me. If I delete a character, I'm also unable to reenter it until I return below the limit. Is it okay to just leave it since it's not cut off on the PRINT PREVIEW? Thanks!</p>
<p>nvm. I clicked “Save and Check for Errors”, and it gave me the error message.</p>
