Have y'all been double spacing your essays? Princeton's app requests that the writing be single spaced, and it made me wonder what I should be doing for the rest of my essays.


On another note--think it's okay to play with page margins/spacing in order to make it all fit on a page? (I really mean this specifically for Penn--I'm doing the page 217 of my autobio thing, and want it to fit on one page )

oh, I've got a question about the structure too.

Which is a better way to seperate paragraphs? by leaving a line between paragraphs or simply indenting the first line?

or you could separate AND indent ><

I think it's alright with messing with the margins and the formatting to make it fit into one page of whatever-type-of-page-it-can-be.

My English teacher once told us to write one-page essays. Sometimes, she said we can mess with the formatting, and other times, she just said "one-page" and that was it. Some of my essays were exactly one-page, and some were like two one-pages put together with 9 pt font and less-than-single-spaced-formatting.

^ harvard44, I think, on a personal note, I like having no extra spaces inbetween paragraphs. Always indent your paragraphs
