<p>I finally finished all of the essays and I am now transfering them to the common application. When I click print/preview the essays seem to be taking up relatively little space on the page and are formatted very poorly. I am getting a little nervous so:</p>

<p>How many words are your essays?</p>

<p>How did you format them once in the common app (did you indent paragraphs, did you leave spaces between paragraphs, did you double space…)</p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>on the common app can you attach a word doc file perhaps instead of pasting it into the space they give you?</p>

3

<p>nope, that would make things too easy</p>

<p>mine were about 700 words, single spaced, 1 in. margins, 12 point Times new Roman. Pretty standard.. Looked good.</p>
