The UCSD secondary asks for a "true autobiographical sketch," whatever that means. The directions say to limit your response to 2 pages, then proceed to say "Type your essay in the space below," which is one page... hmmm. So, do you think it's reasonable to attach an additional page, or is it one of those deals where two double-spaced normal pages would condense down to the one single-spaced page of allowed space?

Ah, nit-picking over secondaries at 1 a.m., there's nothing quite like it.

yeah I noticed that. I'm guessing that we're going to have "two double-spaced normal pages" that could have been condensed into one page. So... uh... yeah I'm going to attach a second page if I decide to send in UCSD's secondary.

i attached another page, single spaced them, wrote about 1 and 1/2 page.
 
I called them when I did it--feel free to send a total of 2 pages (i.e. attach your own).
Good luck.
