<p>Does the University of Chicago suggest we send in our essays with any kind of spacing (single, double)?</p>
<p>they don't say anything. they don't have restrictions. they'd just prefer 2 pages. but i mailed them sometime ago and they said it's ok to get a bit creative and be free with formatting etc.</p>
<p>Since there should be no corrections by the reader to your perfect essay, double spacing would seem less than classy, no? </p>
<p>Kidding. They honestly do not care, but in general I think single spacing things looks a lot better for any type of formal correspondence.</p>
<p>hmmm. . . I figured double would be easier on the eyes in general.</p>
<p>All of my essays were single-spaced, with a blank line between paragraphs. I also offset some poetry in my third essay. I really don't think they'll mind; just make sure your essay is readable in the PDF preview.</p>
