Candidate profile question

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I'm guessing most people have submitted their candidate profiles by now so I can ask this question. I just filled in Deerfield's .PDF candidate profile of my computer as best I could. The only part is missing is the signatures. I want to email this to deerfield as well as 3 other schools.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Should I print the page out, sign it, and scan it back to the computer, so I can email it? Or should I just type in my name in the signature space? What did you guys do?</p></li>
<li><p>Since I am sending it to multiple schools I was just wondering if it was basically the same deal for each school. Should I just email the candidate profile to their school's admissions office, and "snail" mail the check to the school? Or is there some other process? What did you guys do?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The three other schools I am applying to are Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, and SPS (as well as deerfield)</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>We try to reduce the amount of paper these schools have to deal with so my son took the time to re-type the info into each school’s online admissions portal site. Yes, it takes considerably more time than printing the pdf and mailing it in.</p>

<p>I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the data from the hard copy must be entered into a database by an already overworked admissions secretary. I figured that if we did that for them in the form of an online submission, it would ease their burden a little and save paper and postage and all sorts of other resources.</p>

<p>… and my son’s handwriting looks like a 5yo’s. Times New Roman is his friend. I have sympathy for anyone who has to decipher it.</p>
