Hi guys,
Ja, the DAAD application process single-handedly destroys the German stereotype of Order and Efficiency, haha. I personally haven't seen anything explicit about formatting, so @Horb's information will have to be the default. Or just assume whatever is most convenient for you, I guess! I plan to go with whatever spacing I need (will I be long-winded or not?), Times New Roman, 12 point, 1 inch margins, the classic.
Maybe the headache that comes with the application process will somehow improve our odds? Trying to keep a positive perspective on this!
