Panicking about essay length

I just sent in my EA application today (YAY!) but now I’m getting worried-

The directions said to submit essays that are approximately one page in length. I assumed they meant single-spaced, so I figured it would be okay to go a little over if I did 1.5 spacing.

So… my essays are about a page and a quarter, size ten font and 1.5 spacing. Does this seem reasonable? The margins are about .75, I think. I’m just getting worried that I wrote too much, b/c everyone else wrote essays about 2-300 words shorter than mine.

Oh and another thing- Even if I did write too much, will that really work against me?

Thanks so much!
