<p>So we talked about how it was okay to exceed the 50 world limit, and mine is around 116, but common app only allows characters up to 500. So how can we submit our why tufts essay?</p>
<p>any help will be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>It's not really suppose to be an essay. It's more like a few sentences at most.</p>
<p>Anyway, there's no other way to submit it, I don't think. If it's over 500 characters, then you need to trim it down.</p>
<p>yes, it is ok to exceed the 50 word limit. however you can not exceed the character limit.</p>
<p>^Agreed.
It sucks but when it comes down to it, all you can do is start cutting down. You can do it! (Trust me, I went through the same thing two days ago. :))</p>
