Princeton Double Spaced

<p>What happens if you accidentally forgot to single space your essay before you sumbitted it online??? Will they just ignore your app for not following directions or is it a minor thing???</p>

<p>Anyone please help. I am kinda worried now.</p>

<p>bumped people</p>

<p>they never said “Don’t double space it”, so I’m assuming it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>Thats what I thought. But my friend told me to look at the application for the supplement. And At the top of the essay topics it says to not double space it. I cant imagine they would take something so minor so seriously but it is princeton. any insight???</p>

<p>I think the whole point of not double-spacing your essay is to save paper. If you happen to forget to double-space your essay, I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>

<p>They actually do specifically state, even on the online supplement, that you shouldn’t double space. It’s even in bold! But, I doubt they would reject you for something so trivial, so don’t worry too much.</p>

<p>those little details are not the factors that determine your admission.
just relax a little; besides, it’s not something you can change by stressing, unless you possess magical powers.</p>

<p>If you’re still spazzing out, you can actually call admissions requesting to re-upload your essays single spaced. Some schools have been known to allow that.</p>

<p>I dunno, it seems really minor.</p>

<p>But then again, so is omitting a citation in any sort of academic paper (or here at Princeton, not signing the Honor Pledge - by which I mean writing it out in full but not signing your name accidentally. This happened to me). And we all know what happens when that situation arises. Not too pretty.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
