OHSU has an essay for its secondary with the following instructions: "Please submit on a separate sheet of paper, do not exceed one page".

What do you guys think about the spacing of the essay? What I have to say is a little long for double, or even 1.5 spacing.. I can get by on 1.3 and I think it looks OK. Is this bad? Should I trim until it fits on a page at 1.5?

Thanks!

I like the way things look at 1.5 -- though I can't imagine 1.3 being much smaller. Print both options and see for yourself.
 
Haha, this reminds me of times when we were in grade/middle/high school and increased the spacing to meet our page requirement. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself...

I tested it w/ my essays. I would go 1.4 max, 1.3 is too noticable.

Good luck
 
Oh, I'm not doing OHSU, so if it says strictly double space, I would keep it 2.0. The last thing you want is for them to think you can't follow instructions. GL again.
