BIF Personal Statement Formatting

[xenaxavier]

Hi everyone,

I wrote my personal statement in Microsoft Word and had it in paragraphs, but I couldn't match that formatting when I put it into my BIF; it sort of merged together rather than having spaces between paragraphs. Is there any penalty for poor formatting? Or is it judged solely on content?

Thanks a lot

You will not be penalized for formatting

Great thanks so much!
It actually spaced out nicely when I printed it as a PDF file, although it still didn't include indenting. It wouldn't let me fix the formatting on the online BIF.

Hello Elizabeth,

I additionally did this and a question mark was included instead of a comma. Will this affect my consideration for an interview?
