<p>hey everybody i print previewed my supplement a few days ago before i sent it in and i saw that one of my paragraph transitions in my essays was screwed up and had the next paragraph starting like 7 spaces over on the end of the line instead of the paragraph starting on the next line</p>

<p>so i went back and changed it, saw that it was fixed, and "saved" it.
common app said at the top of the page that it was changed, i submitted the supplement and then print previewed one last time to see that the changes had not actually been fixed.</p>

<p>i know it doesnt seem like much but i feel like Stanford would jump on this and be able to say i didnt spend enough time on my app when they see that the spacing of that essay is screwed up.</p>

<p>do you think this is a serious problem?</p>

<p>Chillax, Cdub. Neither Stanford nor other colleges are going to “jump on” minor formatting issues like the one you described. They are focused on the content of what you have to say, rather than on trivial matters like indentation spacing. The substance and style of what you wrote will tell them whether you spent sufficient time on your essays.</p>

<p>haha thank you that makes me feel better. i just keep thinking that since Stanford is such a hard school to get into they will just reject me for things like that.
gotta get that outta my head</p>
