Essay Margins

[TITX]

If a prompt limits an statement to one page but has no specifics about margins, would it be contrary to my interest to make the margins as small as I can to fit everything I need to say? Any input would help..

I would stick to 1 inch margins. For schools I applied to that asked for a specific margin size, they all said 1 inch, so I just used that for all of my essays. You could contact the graduate coordinator for the department you are applying to to ask for specifics just to make sure. Good luck!
