Personal Statement Submission Format

<p>How do we format the personal statement before turning it in?
I typed it up on microsoft word with the paragraphs , but when I attempt to paste it into the online application it doesn't conserve the format.</p>

<p>Do I manually space it out since tabbing doesn't work on the online application box, or should I separate paragraphs by leaving blank lines before the beginning of the next paragraph? </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Even though formatting would be great for readers, just leave it as standard text format. Don’t worry about making it look nice. You should be able to add an extra space between paragraphs if you would like.</p>
