<p>Should the essay(s) be single or double spaced when they are cut and pasted into the Common Application or in any application? Or does it even matter ?? ( I think they should give a course in completing / submitting applications )..</p>
<p>i think single... esp. if you are applying online, because it's too hard to figure out how to double space in the text boxes. if a college tells you to write a page, i've always assumed single spaced.</p>
<p>Thanks norms. I was thinking primarily of the reader(s). For me, reading double space is a bit easier on the eyes...but I think you are probably right about single space</p>
<p>The computer essentially reformats what the adcoms are finally given, so it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Yeah, I saw the re-made files for everyone in our admission office.</p>
