Question. Is there a limit in the number of characters/words for each response?

Answer. Yes. Every response is limited to a certain number of characters based on guidance provided in the Applicant Guidebook. One page approximately equates to 4,000 characters (including spaces). Character limitations are by question, not by application. Applicants cannot transfer unused characters from one response to another. Applicants may not use attachments to extend their text response. Refer to Knowledge Base article 010035 for a table of number of characters allowed for each question.
