| How long should the essays be?
im writing the first essay and think i have said all i need to say, using 1000 characters. what worries me is that the essay page specifies a 3000 character limit. are you "supposed" to write close to that amount, or does it not matter.

I think you're ok with the 1000 character essay....as long as you feel you've gotten your points across, the length doesn't matter so much. Good luck.

Yeah, length isn't a big deal. I don't remember mine being exceptionally long and I'm here at the lovely CGA right now.

Not a chance boss  . I'm just implying that the CGA is beautiful, which it really is! During the summer I never really got a chance to check it out, but it is a nice place.

Soccer is awesome boss, I love it. You should check out a game if you're here for Parents Weekend. Did Jamzmom really send Charlie a bunch of candy???

Another essay question - my son is about ready to submit his 3 required essays. The 4th one - essentially "is there anything else you want to say?" he intends to leave blank since he doesn't know of anything else that's important. Is there a strong reason to respond to this one? He left it blank for his AIM app as well and was accepted. I assume it might be for explaining some particular circumstance or to add something that has come up since he submitted his online form??

I would leave it blank...shouldn't be a problem. I don't think my son filled it out.

Soccer do you mind stating your credentials, not to get off topic too much...
