<p>I'm having trouble formatting my essay on the common app. The method the site suggests doesnt seem do be more effective either. pretty much my indents and tabs keep getting screwed up. Will ad coms frown upon an essay that isnt formatted perfectly?</p>
<p>The instructions clearly state that indents and tabs don't work in a web browser. Just put a space between paragraphs.</p>
<p>Those who read the applications know the limits of the web formatting. Don't worry about it.</p>
