<p>Yes, I know everyone's asked this but just to clarify before EA's are due, should the two essays be one page SINGLE spaced, 1.5 spaced or DOUBLE spaced cause it really does make a significant difference...thanks!</p>
<p>Don't know, but seconding your request for information. If you find out through the school, can you share?
My kid's guessing single-spaced, and also guessing 500 words. Not sure whether she's worked out whether that works.</p>
<p>dammit, just write about a page. It doesn't have to be exactly 5,693.3 characters or 397.4 words. Just write an effing page.</p>
<p>make it single spaced. mine went slightly over a page, and i'm not stressing about it too much.</p>
<p>My feeling on this (as I write) has been, these people are going to have to read 20,000 of these, so if I write too much and they can't finish it (because come on, there's no way they finish every single essay), there's no way that they're going to be able to get anything out of it. So I'm writing one page, double spaced, for each essay, including the meat without the fluff.</p>
<p>not sure how one page double spaced could really be a developed essay . . . don't cheat yourself out of the most controllable, personal part of the application.</p>
<p>Writing one page about why I want to go to business school was tough, especially when my sole aim in life is becoming the world's number one dad.</p>
<p>Oh well, I just finished it!</p>
<p>I wrote name and birthday on top, then the essay number and prompt (or was it just the number?), and then the essay single spaced. Both my essays were just over 500 words.</p>
<p>i think single since it's just a page</p>
<p>I emailed Georgetown about this topic. They said they want it to be one page single spaced, but they want it to be double spaced format. So approx. 1.75 pages double spaced.</p>
<p>Oh shoot. .<em>. Is it too late to recall my application? T</em>T</p>
<p>Don't worry about it Sungchul. The format is less than important. It's the content that Georgetown cares about.</p>
<p>I did one page for one, 1.5 pgs for the other, single spaced. so what. they are KICKASS. quality not quantity.</p>
<p>One of my essays is 957 words and the other is 850 words. They each are like a page and a half, single-spaced. However, I personally think the essays are good and I tried cutting them down but I really can't. After all, we can't all be conscise can we?</p>
<p>My essay is 500 words, single spaced but only comes out to like 2/3 of a page... but adding more ruins it. Should I add more even though I feel it kind of kills the integrity of it?</p>
<p>of course not. they say about a page, so i'm sure a little less or a little more is perfectly acceptable, especially if changing it would "kill its integrity".</p>
<p>wait, are we talking about the personal universally-required essay, or the specific essays for each school?</p>
<p>if so, my global essay is going over.</p>
<p>and for the global essay for SFS, really, i'm confused. bibliography? sources? footnotes? none? which one? i've searched the forum but there seems to be no definite answer.</p>
