Hi everyone,

Just wondering how long Why X essays should be. Also, double space or single space?

Thanks!

I tried to keep mine below one page, double spaced. I think that's what a few schools recommend, and I figured I didn't want to go overboard for the others.

+1. The "Why X" essay is meant as a demonstration of interest. You do it and you maybe get the bump, don't risk annoying the adcomms with anything longer than a page.

Thanks to both of you for the quick responses.
