I was looking at the paper application and the internet application. THe paper includes an evaluation sheet for your counselour to sign. The Internet one doesn’t. So which do you think would be more beneficial? Do they even pay attention to that counselour evaluation?
<p>I applied online quite a bit. DIdn't seem to hurt me any. If you want, you can just submit the paper counselor's form separately.</p>
<p>i did mine online...you just have to send the counselor and teacher evals separately if it can't be done online.</p>
<p>I did all of my schools online (even though I got into my #1 choice ED, i sent in 11 apps). It makes the process a ton easier.</p>
<p>also, colleges now prefer you send it online.</p>
<p>quite jaded: they DO pay attn to evaluations.they are very imp.... u send wat u can online and rest by paper!!</p>
<p>online >>>>> paper :)</p>
<p>Do it online...it's easier on you and the university. If the counselor's recommendation isn't online you might want to call the admissions office and ask about...maybe you just didn't see it online. Sometimes if there are additional forms for others to fill out (ie recommendations )an online application will give them to you after you submit your part of the app. Seriously though...online apps are so much easier.</p>
<p>D did the Common App and applied to all of her schools on line. She just printed out the counselor and teacher recs and have them the forms because they still must be sent via snail mail because ususally the GC sends the Rec, your transcript and the school profile together.</p>
<p>Most admission offices offer online applications. However, most online college app services still require that applicants print out the recommendation forms and give them to their recommenders. </p>
<p>Last year when I applied, I found that only online app of UPenn allowed teachers (excluding counselor because they needed paper, not digital transcripts) to submit online recommendations. All I had to do was putting in my teachers' names and emails, and telling my teachers to check their email. They would then receive emails with the link to the online recommendation forms, which they would be instructed to type in their words before submitting the recommendations online. The disadvantage of online rec my teacher told me was that there was some word limits. My teacher told me he wished he could write more. </p>
<p>Many paper rec forms that appear downloadable online are also editable with Adobe Acrobat Reader (commonapp, for example. But if the form didn't appear editable, I used Adobe Acrobat to make it editable before giving the disks with recommendation forms' pdf files to my teacher anyway). So, you could have your recommenders type down on the editable forms before printing the forms out and signing it. That would be much easier for your teachers to write and the adcoms to read--just as much as the online recommendations that adcoms print out to read.</p>
<p>Apply online. It didn't affect my chances at all, and many of my friends had their application lost (umich and harvard).</p>
