<p>If I am, can someone give me a link as to where I can find a PDF of Cornell's supplement to the common application?</p>
<p>Or is it that Cornell only has online apps?</p>
<p>I looked at Cornell's website and I couldn't find a PDF of the supplement. So can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post a link.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>They only accept Common ap. Register on common app pick the schools where you want to apply. Then on the left hand side click supplements. The supplement needs to be submitted online.</p>
<p>If I use the paper version of the common app, am I allowed to use the paper version of the Cornell supplement?</p>
<p>I found the supplement btw in PDF form. I had to do a little bit more searching and found it.</p>
<p>So is Cornell anti-paper app or something?</p>
<p>Yes they are. There is no paper application.</p>
<p>I was anto-common app at first but then I realized they make everything so much easier. You will have enough paperwork this is once less thing to worry about.</p>
<p>You do NOT have to submit online. Even the supplement can be submitted in paper form. Although the Cornell admissions website strongly recommends submitting online, it can be done by paper. The reason schools like the online submission is because it is easier for them to process initially, but you are not penalized, at least at Cornell, nor at any of the schools my son applied to, if you submit hard copy. (That may change in a few years and schools will likely start requiring online submission, but most have not yet.) My son submitted hard copy because he felt he could tell just a little more about his extracurriculars by inserting a table he had done in Word onto the actual paper application. The common app section for extracurriculars is pretty limiting, at least it was for his stuff. And by limiting I don't mean he had a huge list of extracurriculars but for some things, the space couldn't even accommodate the range of hours he spent on some of his activities.</p>
<p>If you fill everything out on the common app website (then it will all be nicely typed and neat), including the supplement, upload your essays and then hit the print/print preview tab, you can save it to your computer, print the entire thing out, assemble it and send it in.</p>
<p>In fact, and I am not sure if Cornell is one of these, but some schools require that if you send one thing in electronically, it all has to be submitted that way, and vice versa, if you send one thing in hard copy, it all has to be submitted that way.</p>
<p>Thank you for that clarification. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>I quickly checked their website and as I said, they do strongly suggest submitting online but give an option not to. But yes, if you do one thing online, it all has to be done online. If you do one thing in paper it all has to be paper. My son applied ED and had no problem with it.</p>
<p>They got rid of the paper application? Wow, I used one last year...things change so quickly.</p>
<p>I did everything by paper and it all went well.</p>
<p>splintercell50--just be really, really careful that when you save your responses as you go along on the common app website, that you never click submit or that will send it to the school.</p>
<p>Oh, and on our computer we had to reduce the size via page setup to about 97% for the common app, 93% or so for the supplement or it cut off the bottom bit of the page.</p>
