<p>title? if so, in word count?
double/single spacing?
specific font?
certain size?
margins?</p>
<p>sorry for being anal.</p>
<p>since you answered my question, ill attemp to answer yours.</p>
<p>i understand that the title is optional, unless you feel that it would strengthen your essay, dont put one. and there's no specific fonts or anything, i just did 12 times new roman, double space so it'll be easier to read. the general rule of thumb is around one page single spaced or 500 words.</p>
<p>we have a lot in common... youre also applying to ucberkeley right?
weird. but i guess not, because both schools are pretty awesome at engineering.
Good Luck! no matter what happens, it will all be submitted and out of our control in just a few days..</p>
<p>title? -> You can have one if you want, I usually just print a cover page (A sheet of paper that has the title, name of college, Name and HS, stapled onto the essay)</p>
<p>if so, in word count?</p>
<p>--> Up to exactly 530. The title, I wouldn't count. Plus, I printed and sent my essay so they can't electronically check...</p>
<p>double/single spacing?</p>
<p>--> I double spaced. More white space, the better on the eyes.</p>
<p>specific font?
-> Nothing fancy. Just the standard the Writing Processor has (Times, Tahoma, Verdana, etc.)</p>
<p>certain size?
-> 10/12 as long as it's big enough to read without killing the eyes.</p>
<p>margins?
Regular 1", or whatever the standard is on your word processor.</p>
<p>530 words for the supplemental?</p>
<p>if im submitting online, should i still have a cover page?</p>
<p>The requirement is 500, but they usually let you slide with an extra 30 words, almost one or two sentences extra.
When you submit online, you don't give them a cover page, the essay will be separated to the right people.</p>
<p>I'm a Trebuchet MS kind of girl.</p>
<p>yea, rule of thumb for these things is 500 +/- 30 words (about two sentences)</p>
