Oh, i know... i guess there was a delay before I could post the poll. Beware, AADSAS seems to add a few more characters compared to what your Micorsoft Word might say.

sorry, its not funny

Sorry to offend you Polarnut. Maybe my ranges were too narrow. I just know a lot of people stuggle with character limits on the ap. I could say the same about your bible verse in your sig line assuming you dont have it there as a representation of your faith.
 
my original draft that I used for the pre-health committee was way too long. I had to cut out like an entire paragraph to fit the requirement

likewise, friends? :oops:
 
Last cycle, I had just about the limit with very few characters (maybe 20) left.

Same here. ;) I remember thinking VERY carefully about each comma and thinking of shorter synonyms :D
