<p>Hello. I was wondering where I could put my DELF French accreditions in the common application because I didn’t take it as a course under any college.</p>
<p>And also, for the Stanford Supplement, it says 1800 characters max and although when I put it into the common application form, the character count says I still have like 1 or 5 characters left, I get the error that I have exceeded the character count when I try to save it! I’ve submitted a ticket to Common Application late last week but they aren’t replying me yet so I’m wondering if anyone knows what is wrong?</p>
<p>Yea, but under MSWord my word char is not even 1799 including spaces although it says i have 1 char left, for example… so I suppose that they have already factored the spaces in.</p>
<p>Check the formatting of what you copy and paste. I noticed that my indents (using the tab bar in Word) turns into like 10 spaces on the common app.</p>
<p>EDIT: Also stuff like one straight dash (made automatically on Word after you do like --), actually is – in the form, making it one character on Word and two on the fill in box.</p>
<p>Hmm thanks but it doesn’t seem to be the formatting problem.</p>
<p>Well if common application allows me to put my chunk of 1795-1800 characters into the box and claim that there’s still characters that I can add, why would I have be exceeding the limit? </p>
<p>Ehh… I’m puzzled. ><</p>
<p>Somehow if I were to spam 1800 of 'a’s into the box, the system is perfectly fine with it.</p>
<p>Regarding the DELF/DALF, I would put it in the text area just after the activity list. Just one or two lines saying what degree you accomplished and maybe a little extra for admission officers who aren’t familiar with it (explain that it’s administered by the gov’t, has six levels, etc.).</p>
<p>Can’t you get around the word count by just attaching your essay as a World or txt doc? I assure you that we aren’t really counting the characters or words. As long as the essay isn’t outrageously long, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Oh. Hmmmm there are lines after the activity list? Mine goes straight to work experience… Haha but sounds like a good idea, if I can find the lines heh :P</p>
<p>I don’t think so! The online submission has boxes and no option for attaching the document. Eeks. I wouldn’t bother so much about the char count either, but common application keeps giving me errors.</p>
