Duke Fuqua Margins

by Stockmoose16 » Sat Dec 27, 2008 4:40 pm
Hi,

I have a question about the short essays on the Duke Fuqua application. Duke doesn't give a word limit, but instead says it should be no smaller than 10 point font, and no longer than 1-page (1.5. spacing). But what about margins? Depending on margins and font size, this essay could fall anywhere between 400-700 words. That's quite a difference. Is it okay to put the margins at .75 and write a 700 word essay?
