<p>I've heard if a school goes both ways, as it were, it's best to use their app and forego the Common app. </p>
<p>Anyone have an opinion?</p>
<p>It would certainly be easier to use the Common App.</p>
<p>TIA.</p>
<p>this question has been discussed forever, and all the issues have been exhausted....just search the threads.</p>
<p>I used commonapp.....I like the prompt, but the formatting for essays is horrible. I spent more time trying to indent one of my essays than I did writing it.</p>
<p>Also, commonapp supplement doesn't let you write over 400 words for the two short essays (250 ones) Where as Princeton one lets you type in a lot more.</p>
<p>Teacher rec forms on commonapp has more checkboxes, and secondar report on priceton app has more checkboxes....</p>
<p>it makes no difference whatsoever. its a personal choice.</p>
<p>Got it. </p>
<p>I'll A/B the two and go from there.</p>
