<p>It says to write a page on why we're applying. Is it asking for a page double spaced or single spaced? Is 500 words sufficient to answer this prompt?</p>
<p>mine was 500 words ... the spacing doesn't matter. 500 words is 500 words double or single spaced.</p>
<p>a page for single spaced. im sure there was a character limit...prolly around 600~700 words.</p>
<p>i wrote 223 words for that essay (IS program) which is pretty short. it's about half page single spaced. I think what is important is NOT quantity but quality.</p>
<p>it's a page single spaced on a typical word document, with standard settings, up to about 600-700 words. someone i know called.</p>
<p>of course, hector is right, it's quality that matters.. mine was way shorter</p>
