<p>should i have paragraph indents in my essays? if so, how big should the indents be?</p>
<p>Depends on where you are submitting the essay. You can just press tab one good time for an indent. Otherwise, indents are not really needed if you have a space between each paragraph.</p>
<p>another question: should i write in the box which topic i'm writing about, or will the admissions officers figure it out themselves? (this is for UW Seattle, btw)</p>
