College essay format

Hi, please give me some advice on how should I format the college essay in terms of fonts and spacing. Thank you in advance.

Keep it simple: Times New Roman or similar serif font, 11-12 point.

@marvin100 What about spacing? Single? Double?

Double space often looks bad on an uploaded doc IMO. I would go single. A reader can always copy & paste & change the format for readability if s/he desires.

Agreed @collegestudenttobe

Thanks for the replies.
