Hello everyone, for my personal statement on my common app transfer application should I use mla format? Double spaced? Proper indentation? Font? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
@Lechooch If it asks you to upload a .doc, .pdf, .txt, or other file format, I don’t think the formatting and spacing are hugely important, but you should make it readable for the adcoms and use proper indentation. For me at least, here is what I used for my graduate essays:
Font: Computer Modern (I LaTeX most of my documents nowadays), but something like Times New Roman will do.
Format: I just used the default article layouts
Spacing: single
Indentation: yes, indent your paragraphs.
It just has a text box and says you can copy paste if desired.
Okay then do not worry about formatting.
However it is a good idea to insert an empty line in between paragraphs.
