Application?

<p>So… I received a booklet from UPenn in the mail today. It included an application (complete with two teacher recommendation forms).</p>

<p>I thought UPenn was switching to the common application this year? (A supplement to the common application is available at <a href=“http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/forms/CommonSupplement.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/forms/CommonSupplement.pdf</a>)</p>

<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>Thanks for any info! :)</p>

<p>you choose what you want to do: common app or Penn app</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>Just my thoughts.</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>

<p>Thanks again! :)</p>

<p>when would UPenn release the form 6 financial aid form and when is the best time to send in form 1a?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the answer to my question? ^^^^^^^^^^^6</p>
