<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Do I need to indent at the beginning of every paragraph in my personal statement essay? Thanks.</p>
<p>NOOOOOO. Just double space (hit enter twice) between paragraphs. Adcoms know the formatting limitations of the CA.</p>
<p>ah. i have definitely not been hitting enter twice btw paragraphs.</p>
<p>:/</p>
<p>Also, don't freak out if, in the text box on the app when you are filling it out and after you've saved it, there is no blank line. At the end of every paragraph, there will be a space at the end of the last line of the paragraph, and then the next sentence should start at the begining of the next line. Just make sure that there is a blank line between paragraphs on the "Print/Print Preview" version of the application.
If what I said sounds confusing, just do what bluebayou said, and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Sometimes you don't have. :confused: I didn't on my Common App and yet on the Print Preview it came out as with an extra line between paragraphs. Peculiar.</p>
<p>haha when i submitted my app, the view it gave me after that showed this huge blob of letters. no indentation, no spacing. now i can rest easy ( i hope)</p>
<p>Thanks guys -</p>
<p>By the way, I space just ONCE in between paragraphs, but on print/print preview it appears on some paragraphs as two and some on one.</p>
<p>Any help?</p>
