College Essays

<p>My english teacher told me that all college essays, even supplemental essays, should be double spaced. I check on the websites of the colleges that I have to do essays for and this is not explicitly stated. Like on Villanova's website, it just says one page and on Mount Holyoke's it just says 2-3 paragraphs, but nothing about spacing. </p>

<p>I'm just asking because I don't want to look like an idiot submitting an essay that clearly needs to be double spaced. It's just that one page double spaced feels like nothing!</p>

<p>None of mine specified except Carnegie Mellon. They wanted a page single spaced. I generally chose 1.5, a compromise between readability and material density.</p>
