Apply by Mail or Online?

<p>Wellesley College (and most other all-female colleges) waive app fees if you apply online</p>

<p>American University does, at least this past year. Half the seniors at my school applied because of that LOL</p>

<p>What about any supplementary materials you have (such as a video of your theatre performance, a package of your published articles, etc)- how can you submit these things along with the "online" application? </p>

<p>You'd eventually have to get something in by mail (your recs for instance), right? </p>

<p>By the way, I do think that online application is the most efficient way to dealing with all your applications. Saves time, and money.:) All schools should have a common app option-it'd make life much easier.</p>

<p>Usually on the online application, there will be a box that you can check off that says, "I will be sending in supp. materials" and then it gives you an address to send it to.</p>

<p>Did anyone do an activities list? Would you mail that in or what?</p>

<p>My school sent an activities list to all but one school, b/c they claimed that it's part of my high school transcript so that then schools can't complain about added materials.</p>

<p>But that was just a list, not like details and descriptions like I am thinking, right?</p>

<p>yeah, pretty much, broken down by like sports, academic clubs, volunteer groups, etc. Just wondering how much must you need to break it down that I saw on the thread that it would be four pages. Just keep it short and sweet, for the most part these adcoms know every club that's ever hit them, so unless it's so out there, or say you want to really explain an EC that much, then I say somehow convey it into an essay rather than make and extensive list that the adcoms won't be reading anyway.</p>
