<p>So I’m pretty much ready to submit my Common App… but when I look in the print preview, my 150 word essay is cut off about halfway through [even though it’s 150 words exactly.] Will it appear this way when college receive my application?</p>
<p>Yes it will appear exactly as you print preview it so you’ll have to find a way to fix it. The space available is based on characters so you might be over the limit. Is it split into paragraphs? That might also be the problem.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have a short dialogue in it, with a new paragraph when a different person speaks… so that’s what’s taking up all the space. Should I just put all the dialogue in one paragraph? I know it sounds lame, but I feel really weird doing that…</p>
<p>Not sure how you should it - I agree it would look weird if a dialogue was bunched together… But I don’t see what else you can do. You could rewrite it if it came to that I suppose?
Good luck!</p>
