"Do not exceed one page"

this is what it says under the supplemental essay instructions.

does this mean single or double spaced 1 page?

It's up to you I suppose. Just ONE page though, so don't exceed it.

maybe a better question to ask is...is it even possible to edit an essay after you submit it...like is it as simple as emailing your corrected essay to the admissions office email...

@ JP 1000- I don't think you can do that... sorry. Once you've submitted your app, you've submitted it for good. However, I don't think it will hurt your app too much. They might wonder for a second, "can this kid follow instructions?"... but, if your essay is good and the rest of your app is what they are looking for, I definitely do not think that 2 pgs double spaced will be an application killer by any means!!

Good luck!!!!
