<p>this is probably a really dumb question, but how long should the supplement essay for CMU be? i know it says one page, but do they mean one page single spaced, or one page double spaced? thanks</p>
<p>I think that mine was one page double spaced, and I was accepted. Also, I really didn't have anything more to say after that. If you're really concerned, call admissions.</p>
<p>If they cared enough to specify single or double spacings, maybe they would want to specify font and point. What do you think?</p>
<p>Make it readable, legible, and enjoyable. This is the opportunity to shine though and distinquish yourself from just numbers in GPA, SAT's, ECs, APs, and form recommendations.</p>
<p>my supplement was single spaced and 473 words, and I got in.</p>
<p>...I also had a lot of (IMO, pertinent) things to say</p>
