<p>so im really stupid. i submitted my supplement w/o looking at the preview thing because i thought it would pop up and make me look at it before i submitted it… but it didn’t. and then i looked at it in cut my why gwu essay like half-way through!! i thought it was supposed to be less than 500 words; mine is only 350!!! why would it do that?</p>
<p>i know this isn’t THAT big of a deal, and i am going to send them a paper copy w/ a letter explaining it, but i am reallly frustrated.</p>
<p>don’t worry! the same thing happened on my BU and Lafayette applications. On BU the cut offs even split some words in half, so it looks like I made typos. I emailed and called the schools, and they told me that when the application is uploaded to their system they will be able to see the whole thing. Don’t worry, if it fit in the box where you originally typed it, they will be able to see.</p>
<p>Internet applications are still kinda new. Colleges usually understand that formatting is sometimes an issue. If you’re still uneasy, call the admissions office just to make sure :)</p>
<p>DS had the same experience with his Lafayette app, called admissions and they told him to do a new supplement on paper and mail it to them.</p>
