Ok. I shaved my essay down to the limit for characters and copied/pasted it from Notepad onto the space provided. When I reviewed it, the indents were gone and it looked like one ugly paragraph. I need indentation to make it look neat. Help!
 
Come on, guys! Answer my question...I wanna have this mother in by tonight!
 
I think you lose a lot of the formatting anyway when you submit, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just make sure there are lines between your paragraphs and you should be good.

You can modify it once you have cut-n-pasted it into the application. If you are unable to add indents then you can simply double space between the paragraphs.
 
I'm not trying to advertise for www.essayedge.com, but they were of great help for me during my application cycle. Take that into consideration, when you've exhausted all means of proofreading. That was the best optional money spend during my whole process.

jk5177 - I believe the policy of SDN is not to advertise. Your not trying to advertise, but you did. Instead of giving the website, you could have just written, 'essayedge'.

Please be careful next time.
Thank You.
🙂
 
*snicker* At this point I don't believe you have any grounds to be telling other people how to act on this website.

Comet 208 - are you serious or is that misleading information (trolling - a violation of SDN)

i second his comment. they really do help, however it is not for everybody.

i think if you have some qualified people that have applied in the past then you don't need them. they have experts that have read a zillion of personal statements b4 and know what ad coms "expect" so they do a wonderful job. but becareful they tend to use fancy words sometimes that you know you don't use and that might be problemetic.
 
Someone allready posted - be short and to the point - I can't agree more. Think about the number of essays admission comitees will read. Be concise - and you can't go wrong.

Just my opinion

What do you guys think?
 
Or you can just use Spacebar function to indent.
