<p>Hi! For the Penn supplement essay, the directions read, "Your essay should be one page in length (approximately 500 words)."</p>

<p>I interpreted this as a 500 word limit (not a one page limit) and submitted an essay which was less than 500 words but exceeded a page due to 1.5 spacing. What should I do about this?! Can I do anything about this? I'm freaking out... I can't believe I didn't reread the directions before the final submission.</p>
