<p>My son is applying ED to a school we are all in love with. We think his chance of acceptance is pretty good. The school is a match, and they are known for accepting a high percentage of ED applicants. The other day son mentioned that he had mistakenly sent in the double-spaced version of his supplement essay. It was the edited, final version, but it was double-spaced! Of course, his Common App essays were single spaced. This was just an oversight at the last moment. What do all of you think? Big deal or not? I guess it's too late to send a single-spaced verrsion now. The decision comes on Dec 15th.</p>
<p>Not at all a big deal. Don’t bother “worrying” about it. Last year, my son printed his app in 14 pt. and maybe even had in double spaced. he got in…top school too!</p>
<p>Gee, my friend asked Umich when he applied whether to double or single space, they laughed at him and said it didn’t matter but double might be easier to read, and I double spaced all my essays and got in everywhere I applied.</p>
<p>On the online app for Umich where you could type in (or copy-paste) your essay and they automatically formatted it for you, I think it double spaced it.</p>
<p>I just love collegeconfidential! Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>Lol. Stress is clearly running high.</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, posts like this bring back memories of last year’s application-season stress!

Hang in there, francie – less than a month left, and then you can climb down off those pins and needles. 
Good luck to your son!</p>
<p>yeah, then you can join the threads about how to survive your child’s freshman year in college (which, fortunately, most of us seem to do, um, eventually, LOL)</p>
<p>Francie- I can relate to this. Just about this time last year we were stressing out because D made a mistake on the part of the application where you self report your SAT scores. She ended up sending the school and email about it and they said no big deal. </p>
<p>Good luck to your son!</p>
