But how do we know what the 2,500 characters is? We did our Chairmans Essay in word and it came to 9,998 characters, and when we put it into the chairmans form, the CA form told us we had 10,012!! So if there is no feedback to the submitter and they are cutting it close, how are they to know that the count that they used in Word isnt the same as the count in the website script? We buffered ours by several characters to hope to make sure, but cant tell if there is any real way to know if we are under the scripts version of 2500...
