Line spacing in AMCAS

[DrRiker]

When writing a personal statement, should I put a single or double line space between paragraphs? From an ADCOM readability standpoint, does it make a difference? Yes, I'm that short on characters. Yes, I also realize this may be overthought.

Thanks!

I was also wondering about spacing - I have 0 extra characters but want to know if not having adequate spacing will be a problem.

AMCAS is just a text box. No formatting.

Two hard returns (push Enter twice) should give you a single empty line between paragraphs (which are typed in single-spaced format). That is sufficient to ensure readability.
