<p>How many spaces are you guys using to indent each paragraph?</p>

<p>I usually use three, but I'm worried that it's not enough for the adcoms reading hundreds of essays.</p>

<p>Press the “tab” key once.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. Best formatting key ever.</p>

<p>Thanks. I used 3 space indents on my submitted Yale essays. Hopefully, they don’t mind too much.</p>

6

<p>Did not indent. Just put double spaces between paragraphs.</p>

7

<p>^I think we should use indents on uploaded essays. Not sure though.</p>

8

<p>I used 5 I think. If not 7 or 8…</p>

9

<p>Yeah I’m using 5 now.</p>

<p>A tab is 12 spaces. That’s a lot.</p>

<p>I promise you guys they won’t be counting how many spaces you used. It doesn’t matter at all.</p>

<p>Bruno is right. You are worrying about things that don’t matter. Move on!</p>
