Guest rubberoduck Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 does anyone have problems with the word count on the OMSAS essay application? I counted the characters on word and again with the counter when I pasted the stuff - both were well under 1500! but when I clicked save it came back to over 1500! I'm so terribly upset about this. I'm positive that I'm not over the limit, and that the OMSAS system is completely ridiculous. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar difficulties. Please let me know. Thanks.

Guest Madz25 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Are you looking at the character count including spaces on Word??? Also, Word doesn't count a new paragraph as a character but on OMSAS a new paragraph is counted as 2 characters. Madz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubberoduck Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 yes I am looking at character count including space. Like I said before, even the count on OMSAS indicates that I'm less than 1500 (there's a warning when you reach it, as you input the characters). Hence this doesn't make any sense at all. I don't have any "enters." It's a single paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
