question about formatting essays

[Legend]

Making one inch indent before every new paragraph is not working for me in AMCAS.

Do you think leaving a full line of space between paragraphs will separate each paragraph when med schools see it?

thank you

that's what i did. when i looked at my essay in the screen where i pasted it in, it was properly indented. but when i printed the app out, there were no indents. so i just left a blank space to separate each paragraph. actually i think it looks more professional that way anyway.

it is the same for everyone....

you can't indent but leave a line between paragraphs....otherwise, it will look as if none of us passed grade 3....(proper syntax rules) hehe

actually, i've been repeatedly reassured that the essays will look exactly how we enter them when med schools see them, NOT as they look printed out.

so either way works... a space in between paragraphs or indent as usual.
