I agree about the fonts. It was terribly naive of Marcinkevage to think that a different font had any relevance. Perhaps she doesn’t do a whole lot of drafting, editing and revising. Why would anyone want to take the chance of typing into an online application and risk typos and similar errors. Also, many have character restrictions and you can track that in Word so you can shape your essay to be within the limits.

Many online feedback or customer service forms are set up this way and I ALWAYS type it into Word and then paste it. So why wouldn’t you do this with something as important as an application essay?

My first suggestion to my son, when he starts his applications, is to write the essay offline. My second suggestion, from reading this article, is to match the font. :- )
