single space, on space between paragraphs. 11.5 font.

Edit: I'm still under 500 words, it's just a question of fitting it on 1 page now.

Is it necessary to fit it one page? Do questions have to added to the top of essay answers?

They do ask for one page on the instructions. I don't think it's necessary to fit the question up on the top as they append "essay3_upload" etc on the top left, and your name on the top right to the application.

Are there any font and font size requirements mentioned? I just noted the 500 words and 1 page requirement for the essays.
And what about the cover letter, I'm fitting it in 1 page with a 10.5 TNR... dont want a couple of lines to spill over to the next page

Don't recall anything being mentioned @ the information sessions regarding specific formats besides what's already been posted. My cover letter is 10.5 font, essays are 11.5. Everything fits on one page single spaced with spaces between the paragraphs.

In for R2!! Now the waiting begins...

Congrats to all the R2 submissions--you're halfway there :-D I'll go back and update the roll call page next week (prepping for my interview coming up this week). Oh, and congrats to R1 applicants who have interviewed already. Best of luck all around.

Anyone still waiting to hear back for R1? I'm considering contacting the admissions committee unless someone waiting already has.

A lot of interviews aren't done yet--I know of some taking place as late as the 18th. I could be wrong, but common sense is that they won't release results until they at least finish all the interviews. Checking out last year's thread could shed some light on this.

Apologies. I guess I wasn't clear. I meant waiting to hear back on an interview invite/ding. After the first round of dings, there were a few of us who hadn't received interview invites either.

Well, they may call another round of interviews before the 30th. And instead of a ding on the 31st, another alternative is being waitlisted without an interview.

I am waiting too! Was not in the ding list and that is all I know. Nothing more from their side yet.
