Question about their essay prompts: did you guys do one page double spaced ? there are no guidelines as far as that goes. My instinct is telling me to do 1 page, double spaced, but it ends up being pretty short. Let me know if you have thoughts on this please ! 

thank you !

I did one page double spaced as well. It's short, but it's what they want, I'm thinking!

Was told through CRNA prep pages/services to do 12pt font double spaced for all essays (whether based on word count or page length). 🙂
