Commonapp: Indentation Issues

Applying to College
1

<p>HELLO,
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.</p>

<p>I have recently submitted my commonapp, however there seems to be a problem. W/r/t my personal essay, there are no indentations in the .pdf version, I see now that I should have used the space bar, or left a space between paragraphs, however I have submitted my application.</p>

<p>What should I do? The essay is a little bit confusing without indentations, will commonapp change this for me? Will schools know whats up/understand? Should I contact the schools with the properly indented form.</p>

<p>That is, the .doc I submitted will read with the indentations, just the commonapp did not register it.</p>

<p>BUMMER + thanks,</p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>I see on the CommonApp tech support there is a "Changes After Submission" Category, that's a good sign, right?</p>

<p>Anyone ANYONE have any experience?</p>

<p>did you paste your essay into the text box or upload it. you should have uploaded it (almost everyone does)
colleges will understand the lack of formatting. don't worry about that. if the MEANING of your essay is affected by formatting, then I would contact the colleges. They will most liekly tell you to mail them a print-out of your essay</p>

<p>NAH MAN, I ACTUALLY UPLOADED IT.</p>

<p>THINK I CAN CONTACT COMMONAPP, WOULD THEY BE INTO HELPING ME. BASED ON THE ABOVE, I BET A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CAN COMMONAPP CHANGE MINOR PARTS OF AN APP POST SUBMISSION? LIKE THE ABOVE, THAT CAN BE "BLAMED" ON THEM, Y'KNOW?</p>

<p>Well the first step would be to turn off the Caps Lock button.</p>
