My daughter is struggling with this right now, and I can’t say I blame her. Is she the only one having a difficult time with the character count? She wrote a decent 550 word essay but then had to hack it down to about 450 to stay within the character count. It’s so short! How can one convey anything meaningful… I feel like it lost so much… Just ranting a bit as it is frustrating that it counts for a lot, and when you see all of these wonderful “example” essays where kids got into ivy league schools they are sooo long. Of course you can tell a great story with 650 words. Is it just us or are others having this issue?
