<p>Does it matter if you send your application in over the interenet or just mail a written app in? Because I was thinking while over the internet is convenient and you know it gets there directly, a written application can be presented neatly and can show you put some good effort into it. Do you think there is a difference or do you have any certain preferences when it comes to this?</p>
<p>I think universities are shifting to prefer online submissions over paper copies. I remember the universities I looked at saying if possible, they want applicants to apply online, but will accept paper copies if the applicant doesn't have regular access to a computer or whatever.</p>
<p>For the sake of my hand, I prefer electronic submission ;)</p>
