Yet another National Merit essay question

<p>Can I glue small, typed essay to the essay box instead of trying to squeeze it all in there. I do not know if I can make my handwriting fit in that box, so I was wondering if it would be better to put possibly a size 10 font typed essay in there instead. Thanks!</p>

<p>The form says you can tape it there with non-glare tape (not the clear kind).</p>

<p>That seems like it would work pretty well.</p>

<p>Anybody spending a lot of time on these?
Do they use the essays to determine which half receives the scholarships and which half doesn’t? Or is it to check if you really care about the applicaiton?</p>
