will the use of contractions be frowned upon? I'm worried it'll come off as an ethically dubious attempt to slide under the word limit.

I wrote mine conversationally just so I could legitimize using contractions. But maybe if you put a winky face next to every contraction that would work also.R.

damn it i may have to go back to the drawing board for this one. because also my essay was about Jay Z and i just now remembered that he dropped the hyphen back in 2013 which further screws up my word count.Baby Gaga wrote:The winky face is an extra word though, That's how they get youR.

Anybody notice that the yls website says they will "begin accepting applications in late October 2016"? Does that mean that it'll open later than the usual October 1st?

I feel pretty chill about this. If I were to wildly speculate, I'd guess that the delayed app opening probably won't shift the standard admissions timeline. It's probably a reflection of the fact that they don't actually get to reading apps until later in the fall. And it'll make submit-trigger-happy people (like yours truly) take more time to tighten their app and essays.
And/or, who the heck knows.

Aight, that's my longest post ever, good luck everyone!
