<p>How should a common app essay be formatted? It asks to upload a word document and it displays it just as it is in word. Do I need an MLA header? Should it have my name and page number on each page? Should it be double or single or 1.5 spaced? how big should margins be? Times New Roman font size 12? Is this important?</p>
<p>The prompt is a person who had an influence on me. Describe the influence and how it affected me. Anyone willing to read it? Thanks!</p>
