Best of luck!

Oh, that makes sense. I talked to the University of Washington advisor, and she said about the same. As long as analytical writing is above 4, they aren't too concerned. 
Thanks everyone for the feedback!

so it was a misunderstanding for me! I thought you meant submission to the journals as for publications. in that case (essays for admission or writing samples), SLPgirl95 is absolutely right 

In my experience, the school specifies whether they want single or double spaced. However, I would probably err on the side of single-spaced; it makes your personal statement seem shorter and comes across as less "work" for the admissions counselor, considering that many have limited time to read our essays.
