<p>I just received an email from a URichmond representative telling me that they only use the online application. I am an international student and using the online application is pretty useless for me because I will have eventually most of the forms (teacher recommendation, counsellor recomendation, transcripts, tax forms, bank statements,etc).</p>
<p>I cant use the online app. Is there any hope for me?</p>
<p>I would suggest talking about this with admissions, as they’re the ones that can help the most.</p>
<p>I’m not sure that I understand exactly what you’re asking, but if you’re concerned about not being able to submit your recommendations, transcript and other forms online, that’s normal even in the US and not part of the online application. Those things are always mailed in paper form. The online application consists of your information, essays, resume, accomplishments, etc.</p>
<p>I believe they only use the Common App. Why woudn’t you be able to apply online? All your supporting documents are always sent in via mail?</p>
<p>Can I send the entire application by mail or do they only use the online one?</p>
<p>No, the portion that has your essays, accomplishments, resume, etc. must be submitted online… but we are asking why you are unable to submit it online.</p>
<p>I know it’s been four years since I submitted my own Richmond app, but why is everyone saying it must be submitted online? </p>
<p>The UR Application Timeline says nothing about online vs. paper except for this: “$50 application fee or acceptable fee waiver form; fee may be paid by credit card via Common Application or by check after paper or electronic application is submitted.”</p>
<p>Am I missing something?</p>
<p>I mailed my own application in, btw.</p>
<p>The answers to all of your questions can be found on the UR website under admissions. Go to [Application</a> Process, Undergraduate Admission, University of Richmond](<a href=“http://admissions.richmond.edu/application/index.html]Application”>Admission Process - Undergraduate Admission - University of Richmond). UR uses the Common App, which is submitted electronically. All other req’d materials (recs, transcripts, etc.) are sent via mail by your school. Hope this helps. Go to the Int’l link…they have lots of info.</p>
<p>URichmond2010 - things must have changed in the past four years, as they do not have a paper application as many schools do.</p>
<p>Just call them and ask. If if it is an international call, why guess when you can know for sure.</p>
<p>Hi Bigcheese–</p>
<p>While I no longer work at UR, I can say with confidence that it is fine for you to send in a paper Common Application. But UR no longer prints an application of its own. Using paper slows down the processing somewhat, but that’s the only downside. Otherwise it will be treated the same as any on-line application. Just be sure to take pity on my former colleagues and use impeccably tidy handwriting, OK?!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I printed out the Common App–after filling it out online–and mailed it in. I have no idea why I did that, but I did…</p>
