What format is everyone using for these type of essays? Single spaced, 10pt? Double spaced, 12pt? Maybe a type of character guide?

My responses are between 2,500 and 3,500 for these types of questions. They get my ideas accross, but I could always add more detail if they are too short.

i use single space and 12 pt, any smaller would be pushing the adcom eyes and probably frustating them to no end... i did tho widen the page margins to fit it down into a page.
 
I also used 12 pt single-spaced with 0.5 to 1 inch margins. (~500 words or 3000 chars)
 
I also used 12pts with margins set at 1 inch (single spaced). I think 10pt font size is a little hard to read for some people.

11 pt Times New Roman, .75 inch margins all around. Ooooooh, yeah.
 
10pt arial. Even though its smaller its less "frilly" and easier to read than 11pt TNR and gives you a little more room.
 
A big fat "boo" to default fonts like Arial. Makes me think of middle school on an old Macintosh P.O.S., pecking out a poems for language arts class.
