<p>On the application essays part of the Penn application, it states “do not exceed one page.” In order to fit the essay, is there a limit on the size of the font and the margins of the page?</p>
<p>If you need to exceed one page single spaced in a 12 point font with one inch margins, you wrote too much. Most colleges want no more than 650 words.</p>
<p>I understand what the colleges want, but is there any requirement as to the length of the essay?</p>
<p>If they don't specify it, then they are clearly not looking for a specific length.</p>
