Common App Essay Length

<p>My common app essay, when spaced out, is one page and a couple lines. Should I change the margin size to fit it all onto one page or will there be no problem with just one page and a few lines?</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a very stupid question...</p>

<p>That’s not a stupid a question at all! I actually double spaced mine and it came out to about a page and a half. Don’t worry the common app saves the extra page :)</p>

<p>I didn’t double space mine, but if you do I wouldn’t change the margin size. Change the text size.</p>

<p>Wait…is the essay supposed to be a one-page essay?</p>
