<p>wait doesn't some colleges require electronic applications (e.g. MIT)??</p>
<p>I agree with afan about filing electronically. The colleges want you to do this since they don't have to copy the info from the form into their computer database. If you file electronically, though, any attachments such as a resume or activity list has to be mailed separately and then the staff at the college manually puts it together with the app.</p>
