Honors College Essay formatting?

Hey everyone! I just sent in my Honors College Essays and I’m super excited. However, it appears that all of my formattings disappeared when I submitted the essay. When I submitted, I made sure to have an extra space between every paragraph just so this doesn’t happen, but now my essays just look like big blocks of text with no paragraphs at all. Is this how it is for everyone? I’m really worried about this issue that I had no control over affecting my chances of getting in.

I already contacted the honors college about this issue, but if it’s not something that everyone runs in to, I doubt that they’ll be able to fix it due to the nature of the essay.

I believe that my daughter’s also reformatted–even things like italics, etc. were gone when I went to review them and we just figured the site was set up for more basic formatting.

Were her paragraphs still in place? That’s my biggest concern.

All my DD’s paragraphs are gone too. It’s just one big block of text. It bothers me. Paragraphs are a rather important writing convention. She live chatted with Admissions last night and she said this happens to all the uploaded essays.
Ugh.

It bothers me too, but at least we’re all on the same playing field.

Same here. Ugh!

The college officially got back to me: it’s totally fine and a normal part of the submission that will not affect us.

Thanks for following up!

This happened with my daughter’s essay a couple years ago. I remember her being devastated at the time, but it didn’t seem to matter as she still got accepted into HC.
