<p>i'm just curious, but what format and spacing do colleges want?
and also would exceeding the 500 word mark by 150 words be really bad?</p>
<p>Keep to the 500 word limit. 150 over is not recommended. Admissions readers wouldn’t be happy if they’re reading an over-the-limit essay by the end of their 10-14 hour day.</p>
<p>Double spaced, times new roman, 12 point font
basically mla format</p>
