Argh, I’m confused too. So is everyone on here adhering to solely the 500-word limit then? I would think that if they were doing a character limit to approximate the word limit, they’d choose something closer to 3500 characteres or so. I mean, on the Common App, it’s a 500 word limit but they have a 4200 (or somewhere there abouts) character limit.
