<p>i know it's a bit late to be working on my essays but i've been getting some stuff straightened out...</p>

<p>anyways</p>

<p>i noticed that each umichigan essay upload field requires you to include your name, UM ID(I dont think i have one?) DOB and essay prompt text on each page</p>

<p>the problem is, when I preview the pdf printout, the essay is almost unreadable due to the presence of the headers</p>

<p>it will transition into something like</p>

<p>upon returning from geneva,</p>

<p>first name last name mm/dd/yyyy
Please tell us about a social issue</p>

<p>I learned a great deal about...</p>

<p>sometimes it's worse, there isnt even a space between "social issue" and "i learned a great deal about"</p>

<p>dont they know their own prompts?!
some upload slots only have one essay topic anyway</p>

<p>ugh</p>

<p>doesnt sound like a problem with their system sounds like you did something wrong with the headers…
edit: i also didnt really understand what you were trying to say towards the end if you could clear it up i could probably help because i did mine like a month ago</p>

<p>the problem is that instead of the greyed out letters that the header takes on in my word processor, the header looks like it’s part of the essay</p>

<p>it might confused the reader</p>

<p>Don’t put it in the header. Simply put it at the top of the essay.</p>

5

<p>but it says to include it on every page?</p>

6

<p>pdf… why not submit a word document?</p>

7

<p>it is a word doc, im saying when i preview the printout on the application, it is a pdf file</p>

8

<p>then try submitting a pdf…</p>

<p>Just put it on the top of the page, not in the header.</p>

<p>It doesn’t need to be on the top of every page in a word document, it will stay together as one doc (pdf or not) anyways.</p>
