<p>Or does this just mean that they are giving us the option of either 1) completing their application, or 2) completing the common application and the supplement?</p>
<p>If you have spare time, I recommend doing the Penn app..as annoying as it was, I think the app tells you a little bit about the school and is a lot more personalized. It's too easy to not make the common app too general. In the same way that people usually change their resume a little bit for each company they apply to, I think it makes sense to change your app a little based on the college. There are certain things you might want to highlight at different schools, etc.</p>
<p>Plus, even though they say they dont differentiate between common and Penn apps, they're human too. Subconsciously, it'll seem like you're more interested if you use the Penn app.</p>
<p>Thank you both for the input. I figured we could choose either application, but I just wanted to make sure. ;)</p>
<p>And I agree completely, eighteenforluck. I have the paper UPenn application that they sent me- but their website says their application will be available online next month. I guess I'll complete that. Colleges seem to like online applications better than paper ones, don't you think?</p>
