I am in a dilemma…i have to write a 2 page essay, but would that be single spaced, double spaced, 1.5 spaced what???

<p>It's all up to you. You are going to college, so I guess the adcoms want to know you can make that decision on your own.
I would go single.</p>

<p>Say what you need to say then make it fit.</p>

5

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>i would say double spaced, don't you double space just about everything? i did a search on google and everything i saw implied that essays were to be double spaced. good luck</p>

<p>Hi. I just had a couple of super quick questions and didn't want to start a new thread for them. First of all, is there ANYTHING grammatically incorrect in this sentence?<br>
"I hope to learn from my very personal encounters with my patients, not only on an academic and professional basis, but also by growing in scope and depth."
Also, if using "one" in the beginning of a sentence, can "they" be used at the end, or does it HAVE to be "he/she"? For example, Only when ONE hears a story in which a house was burned down to the ground and everything inside lost, can THEY relate to such trying circumstances. Thanks for any help and sorry for hijacking this thread!!</p>

<p>single-spacing annoys me. I haven't single-spaced since elementary school. my school pushes the mla format down our throats, so I always double-space everything</p>

<p>"I hope to learn from my very personal encounters with my patients, not only on an academic and professional basis, but also by growing in scope and depth."</p>

<p>hmm. that sentance does not make sense to me....this is how i would change it</p>

<p>I not only hope to learn an academic and professional bases from my personal encounters with my patients, but to also grow in scope and depth...</p>

<p>Thank you! Any thoughts on the one/they fiasco?</p>

<p>I would really stick with the he or she, but find a smoother way to incorporate it or just eliminate it. "Only upon hearing a story in which a house was burned to the ground and everything inside lost, can one relate to such trying circumstances." Obviously, that isn't quite right now, but with some more information and surrounding sentences I'm sure you could make it work. Hope this helps</p>
