I have a doubt: The essay portion in the application portal mentions writing the essay in 300-350 words, with 12pt font, double spacing, and approx 1 page or less. Is it possible to do all of them? My 350 words with double spacing and 12 pt font covers ~1.5 pages

Oh ok.

In double spacing upto 250 words approx you will be in a position to fit in i guess.

try American letter layout

than A4 type

Any font size specification they have given? Else you can try 11 or 10 size font

try to use calibri font -- it usually takes smaller size than other fonts and make a custom change for layout

try to change bottom of the page space to 0.1, and both size to 0.2

if it is not working then contact with the admissions team and they are really nice.
