essay: single/double spance

<p>So for Georgetown's application, it says:</p>

<p>"two brief essays (approximately one page each) on the topics given below. Essays should be typewritten"......</p>

<p>My question: Can the one page essay be single spaced? It doesn't indicate on the application. Is there some understood norm regarding whether "one page" should be single or double spaced...</p>

<p>Usually, you go by words. One page is approx. 400-500 words.</p>
