I'm reposting this question from another thread - where the poster asked questions on essay spacing/fonts. I never even gave this another thought until I came across his question. And now my question as follows...
I submitted essays for Kellogg which stated "double spacing". Since it was the only school I applied to this year, I took that to mean "just don't single space" and used 1.5 spacing (on top of a 10 font). I didn't realize schools would actually specialize 1.5 had they wanted it... I know this is starting to sound really obsessive and trivial - but do you think they'd actually cross me off cuz of this?
No They usually want easily readable stuff. They dont want to struggle too hard
Usually people play around with spacing to ridculous extents that it becomes inconvenient for the adcom to read.
I would say If your essay is presentable and easily readable it would be just fine and 1.5 spacing would be ignored
I hope you have adhered to the pagelimits(paragraph limits) with minimal deviation.
If you have reduced the margins by an inch on all four sides, shrank the font to 9-, exceeded the page limit by a significant amount and yet used 1.5 font to present ur essays then the essay will come across as too wordy and that might be bad for u.
