One page, three schools

From CMU’s first essay:

“Please submit a one page, single-spaced essay that explains why you have chosen Carnegie Mellon and your particular major(s), department(s) or program(s). This essay should include the reasons why you’ve chosen the major(s), any goals or relevant work plans and any other information you would like us to know. If you are applying to more than one college or program, please mention each college or program to which you are applying. Because our admission committees review applicants by college and program, your essay can impact our final decision.”

I’m not sure if I’m misreading this or I really have to fit what I have to say about the three schools to which I’m applying, all on one page (which I find much more difficult than doing so for one school). For what it’s worth, I’m applying to SCS, MCS, and CIT.
