What format do colleges want?

<p>Single space, double spaced, times new roman, arial, size 12, size 10... what would they rather read?</p>

<p>I'm mostly wondering about the double/single spacing issue, as I'm worried some of my essays look kinda crunched up.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I just did single space - I didn't think they'd care. Or rather, it was that default spacing on MSWord - 1.15 or something?</p>
