<p>I'm working on my "Why Penn" essay. Right now it is about 800 words, size 12 times new roman, 1 inch margins, single spaced. But it 1 page and 13 lines on the second page.</p>

<p>Do you think I should change my margins/font/font size so that it fits on 1 page? Do many people do this if their essay is too long? I dont want it to look like i tried to squeeze too much onto 1 page. I probably could cut down some, but not a whole 13 lines...</p>

<p>Any suggestions would be helpful :)</p>
