<p>Hey there. Sorry this is so specific but I really need help. What font size should I use for my supplement essay? And spacing?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!</p>
<p>I used 12 point Times New Roman, I think it’s the standard for most papers, at least in my school. I’ve heard of people using Calibri too though, but I think any neat, readable font is okay. I double-spaced my essay because I felt like single-spaced would come across as too scary/dense, and it would tempt the readers to skim if their eyes get tired. Oh and it wasn’t exactly 2.0 spaced, I played with the margins and spacing by a couple of millimeters to make my essay end exactly at the end of the second page - it just makes it look so much better, and I’m 100% sure they don’t check margins and spacing to the millimeter.</p>
