For last year's applicants, does Kellogg give any guidance for line spacing or font size? Also, how long is a two-paragraph essay? It would be tempting to drag it out to almost 2 pages...maybe their point is to see if you know how to be concise?

Kellogg wants double spaced, I wouldnt go smaller than 10pt arial, or 11pt Times...I think Sandy (aka hbs guru) recommends 11 or 12pt arial narrow. Last year we had "2 or 3 paragraphs" for the #4 essays, each of my essays for #4 were about a page. I used 1" margins all around. You can get around 900 words per essay for 1-3.
Comparing this year and last year: Post with last years essay https://gmatclub.com/forum/p356698#p356698
Essay 1: exactly the same (MMM had a different essay last year so that may suddenly appear)
Essay 2: same as last year, only difference was they included "Each of our applicants is unique." before the question last year.
Essay 3: exact same question slightly different wording
Essay 4: changed these up the only one that is the same is "I wish the adcom asked me..."
I actually used the other two options for my #4 essays last year. The challenging professional relationship one is similar to the reluctant question but the admire one is very different than the outside of work essay from last year.
