Ok I apologize if this is a stupid question but when colleges ask to submit corrections “in writing” by fax or mail, do they mean you must actually handwrite and sign the letter? Or can you word-process it and sign it by hand?
Thanks!!
<p>I found WUSTL and Penn admissions accept corrections by email and fax. Some other college admissions may accept such methods but you need to find out if the particular admissions office can afford time to read applicants' emails. If they cannot, use other methods.</p>
<p>It is always better to type your corrections and sign it instead of handwriting it. The more important things to remember are including your full name, your date of birth, and social security number on each page. [You may also include your contact info and mailing address on each page if you wish.] I suggest writing it with big and easy-to-read fonts, and refer to parts of your application if the corrections are related to certain parts.</p>
<p>The advantage of faxing is that it is fast. However, the advantage of mailing is reliability. If you feel the corrections are crucial and have to be made to your profile on time, do both faxing and mailing (you could add a note to your letter that you are doing both). If the corrections don't have to be rushed, just mail it.</p>
<p>By "in writing," they probably only mean that they want it on paper rather than being told about it over the phone.</p>
<p>Ahhh thanks soooo much valecollegorian and kitkattail...both of your posts cleared up a lot for me!</p>
