When colleges say . . .

<p>to keep an essay to a one page maximum, does that mean one page double spaced or one paged single spaced? Thanks.</p>

<p>double i believe</p>

<p>single spaced, one page is about 500 words. so i would assume single.</p>

<p>So... I'm getting conflicting answers... help?</p>

<p>I would go with single spaced. Most colleges explicitly state that they do not want submissions double spaced. But if you're really unsure, contact the college.</p>

<p>I would go with single. one page single spaced is around 500 words which is fairly standard essay lenghth. double spaced would be really short.
I also think they wuld be more likely to specify double spaced if they wanted it.</p>

<p>is there a word limit?</p>

<p>i would assume no unless specified. however, it is in your best interest to do a print preview to make sure nothing has been cut off.</p>

<p>definitely do a print preview!</p>

<p>i am sorry i thought it was double.</p>
