Essay style

Hi,

I noticed that some of the school applications provide little guidance regarding how the essays should be structured (i.e. double or single spaced etc...). From your experience, what is the preference of the admissions committees???

Thank you for any guidance you may be able to provide.

Hi Akalfaya,

It's probably best to go with double-spaced, if the school doesn't specify, simply to make it easier for the admissions officer to read, since he or she is likely reading hundreds of essays every day.

Good luck!
