Double Space or Single Space for the Common App Essay

<p>So for he common app essay I know that we should indent at the beginning of each paragraph, but what's the requirement for the format? Is it double space or single space?</p>

<p>I single spaced mine.</p>

<p>I thought we need to double space them… Anyone can confirm this?</p>

<p>I 4/3 spaced mine. I don’t think it matters as long as the essay is easy to read and visually pleasing.</p>

<p>1.5 space it</p>

<p>that’s what i did</p>

<p>Double space is standard. It’s fine.</p>

<p>Split the difference and do 1.5. </p>

<p>1.5 in my opinion is more pleasing to the eyes. Double spacing is way too huge; the admissions officers aren’t going to write comments or edit it…</p>

<p>My essay, if I 1.5 space it, has three words on then next page. (super annoying.) Should I double space, or do you think the adcoms won’t find the next page issue as annoying as I find it?</p>

<p>What’s your font? You can have 11 font and still make it look nice. Or perhaps you can change the margins to 0.5".</p>

<p>I double spaced mine</p>
