This might be a dumb question, but in the Common Application are you supposed to leave one full space between each paragraph (hit enter twice) or not (just once)? When I check the preview, an extra space looks oddly big and clunky, but fine on my submission screen. Without the space, it looks okay on the preview but not on my screen. It’s really important to my essays that the paragraphs remain intact, so I’m leaning on having that extra space just in case, but I’m hoping someone knows exactly what to do!
I can’t imagine that anyone reading the essay would care. They’re much more concerned with the content of your essay than with the number of spaces you’re leaving between paragraphs.
Thank you so much for the answer! I was a little worried that it wouldn’t show up as separate paragraphs at all, but I guess that was just my over-stressed soul talking. I’m currently running on very little sleep and tons of coffee, haha.
So in the end, did you go with spacing in between or no spacing? I’m struggling with the same problem right now.

??? Thank you in advance.
Super late, and definitely of no help, but I went with the first one. It looked okay in the pdf preview when I was submitting.
