Length/Font Size On Long Essay

<p>I've completed my answer to question 11b and I really like it.</p>

<p>Here's the problem: it's not going to fit in the box provided on page 4 of Form 2, no matter what I do. Therefore I've chosen to upload a Word document to the online app and submit it that way.</p>

<p>My word count is running right at 1000 (825 words is about 4800 characters w/spaces -- the limit for the text box). The document is one-page with about 3/4 inch margins and 11-point font, single-spaced. It actually doesn't look that small when printed out -- I think it's quite readable. But do you think being 175 words over is too long, or am I okay? Or, should I increase the font size on the document, add some spaces between paragraphs and lines, and just make it two pages? </p>

<p>I appreciate your input.</p>
