Was this really dumb or borderline?

Applying to College
1

<p>I submitted 330 words for my short answer. I put "PLEASE REFER TO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" in the short answer box and put the answer in the additional information section. The meat of the answer was lost with 150 words, and I don't think the 330-word essay is boring, either. Am I dumb or can that possibly be a good thing? You can read it if you need to in order to give me a good answer.</p>

<p>No sarcasm, please.</p>

<p>You are ok. Admission officers are people like us, not robots. They understand why you did that, and care about what you wrote.</p>

<p>Regardless of whether you are right, you make me feel much better.
Lol.</p>
