<p>Just checking: the font of the essay that appears on the MIT Application (that admissions officers read) is supposed to be Lucida Console?</p>
<p>Anyone else think that the font is ugly?</p>
<p>You have no control over the font, sorry 
</p>
<p>(Yes, it’s ugly.)</p>
<p>Would you have preferred Comic Sans?</p>
<p>In all seriousness, I’m a font-snob too but the content is going to triumph over the aesthetics in any case :)</p>
<p>@BranMuffinWorthy - just lurking here but thanks for the laugh-out-loud comic sans comment. My D is pretty tolerant of everyone’s and anyone’s personal preferences in just about everything. But she absolutely, positively HATES that font!</p>
<p>Haha, I’m just happy to make an internet stranger laugh; it’s what I do best 
Also, I cannot deal with The Font That Shall Not Be Named. It really just hurts when I see it.</p>
