Well for my common app essay, regardless of double or single spacing, it was 2 pages. I double spaced it just to make it easier for adcoms to read.

lol huh? regardless of double or single spacing? so it was 2 pages single spaced?

i personally chose single space, size 12. i figure double spaced is normally reserved for comments/edits.

Yeah it was like a page and a little bit single spaced. (A page and a line, really.)
