Why X Essay Forum

The University of Minnesota has a space for you to write the main reasons for applying there, but it's only 250 characters. I was thinking of attaching a Why X essay in addition to that. Good or bad idea??

Just as a straight addendum? Or is there an essay option like that?

As a straight addendum

250 words is almost a page (double spaced). Show them how you can be effective and concise, dont piss them off by making them read two pages of what amounts to begging.

I thought it was 250 words but it's 250 characters. I wrote 250 words mistakenly and now I'm struggling to condense that to a few sentences.

RC fail.

Tough call. Email the admissions office and ask.

Alright good idea, thanks.
