<p>I was filling out the Supplement on the Common App site - the character limits are exact and include spaces!?!?!?!</p>
<p>lame. is there a margin of error in these, like will it accept over the limit (i.e. 350 characters for the 1st essay)?</p>
<p>If it does not (and just to be sure), you can send all your application (or different parts of it) via snail mail. That way you'll know nothing will get cut out.</p>
