The Why Swat Essay...

<p>Did anyone else have trouble formatting? Yea you'll all tell me I shouldn't have waited so long to apply, but I couldn't get the thing to put returns inbetween paragraphs...like my essay is just one big paragraph now, where before it had multipleparagraphs (well, not really paragraphs, theres some dialogue, it's only 332 words). It changes my essay a lot...should I call them and ask them if they want me to email them the essay the way it's supposed to be formatted? I mean, I saved and printpreviewed multiple times and multiple different ways of formatting, and it all resulted in this one big blob of a paragraph...I'm really ****ed off. Anyone else? Or just me :-/</p>

<p>I'm assuming you're applying online. Try getting it to look the way you want it on Wordpad or something similar, then copy/paste into the online form. That might work.</p>

<p>well...i haven't started yet so i won't tell you anything about waiting too long.</p>

<p>yep.</p>

<p>how long should it be?</p>

<p>i was originally only shooting for around 150 words..</p>

<p>online all it said was "brief."</p>

<p>150 words sounds a bit short, but there is no "official" suggested length. I think 250-500 is the "norm".</p>

<p>mine was one page</p>
