Oh, and since I’ve already made a new topic: My essay is around 1200-1300 words. I’ve already shortened it as far as I could, and even gave it to two teachers to proofread/help me edit. They’ve both said they think that everything I have is vital to the essay, and that the adcoms won’t lose interest while reading it. I also e-mailed the admissions office, and they said the standard is 500-700, but anything over that wouldn’t be held against me. The problem is that on the YC app, the text box cuts my essay off by 1000 characters. Should I mail/fax/e-mail the essay separately or something? What do you guys think?
