<p>I know the prompt requests that the essay be at least "one typewritten page". How many words would that be exactly?</p>
<p>However many words it takes to fill a page. It varies depending upon the length of the words. Normally, around 250-300 words should fill a double spaced page.</p>
<p>Should the “one typewritten page” be single or double spaced? What have others done?</p>
<p>Mine was one page, single spaced, and 612 words. Just type it and see where you’re at when you finish. There isn’t a set number of words because it will obviously vary based upon how big of words you use.</p>
<p>I guess I missed the “one typewritten page” memo. Mine was way over a page single spaced and about 1000 words. I got accepted early action so I would say if you’re discussing something quite passionately and it isn’t just rambling than longer won’t kill your app.</p>
<p>italianblonde, my essay was about 1000 words too, and you didnt miss the memo, villanova wanted a minimum of 1 page haha, but congrats on getting in! i hope i get in</p>
<p>mine was about 600 words and I got accepted EA</p>
<p>Thank you, I was planning on single spacing :)</p>
<p>mine was really short. short and simple as long as you get the point across. i’m currently attending.</p>
<p>mine was a bit over 400 words and i got in EA. i thought it was atrocious. i procrastinated and did it late Halloween night.</p>
