Aren't regular applications easier than Common App??

<p>I'm an upcoming senior (wow that's weird to say lol) and I really want to get my college apps out of the way (or close to it) by September...I printed out the freshman apps to two schools (Gannon and Saint Vincent College in PA), and they are 2 and 4 pages respectively. If I DID do common app, I've heard there'd be a lot of stuff that would need to be submitted by mail...plus supplements...as opposed to these short apps (and like transcripts, etc).</p>

<p>So which is easier? Because right now I'm just considering forgoing Common App and sticking to good old-fashioned snail mail (with insurance of course lol). Thanks :)</p>

<p>common app allows for one essay for however many schools you apply to. much easier in my opinion. and usually supplements aren’t very long.</p>
