Length of transfer essay

<p>I'm finalizing my tansfer essay and, while I'm still a little bit over the 1 page limit, I feel that cutting it down any more would take away from the piece.</p>

<p>Is it absolutley imperative that the essay be no more than one page? Or, if it goes on for about 8-10 lines on a second page, will that make a negative impact on my admission decision?</p>

<p>Additionally, is it frowned upon to mess with the margins a bit? I didn't want to change it up too much so I set it to 1 inch all the way around. It's still very legible and not any sort of a pain to read from a practical stand point (left it with 12 pt font).</p>

<p>Any insight is appreciated</p>

<p>hello,
I was wondering the same thing. my transfer essay is a bit over the one page limit as well but feel that taking away would detract from it.</p>
