I am a little confused about a few things with this program application. For the mini-essay portion of the application, how much are we expected to write?

Also for the section V - Post-Secondary Educational Institutions Attended section, if I took summer courses at a CC do I need to list those schools separately and put a separate gpa, or since I transferred them over can I just factor them into my undergrad gpa. Or should I just list them, but then not a gpa, and then factor those courses in my undergrad gpa? Thanks!

Also I don't really understand this question:
* 7) What are you doing between October 2014 and August 2015?

Should I just put I was an undergrad?

Look on the application guidebook for the character limit, I don't really recall it off the top of my head but I thought it was 850 characters or words. But there isn't a hard character limit. Meaning, my essays were probably 100 to 200 characters over the limit but it was processed OK. So the character limit is a mere SUGGESTION not a RULE.

Yeah, those classes you should factor into your sGPA (if they were science classes) and you should input them into the excel document.

Yes, are you finishing up college Spring 2015? If so, make sure you describe what, if anything, you will be doing over the summer.
