I'm very confused… what is applytexas and is it as easy as it seems to be?

<p>Okay… So I'm a senior and very behind on college applications.</p>

<p>I'm interested in mainly Texas universities such as A&M and UT but my grades aren't that good, so I'm obviously applying to more than just those schools. Anyway, basically my understanding is ApplyTexas is a site where you can apply to most/ all Texas schools via web.</p>

<p>Is that basically it? Do colleges prefer paper or online applications? What about recommendation letters? Can I send the same recommendation letter to multiple schools? Will the letter be on paper or typed on a computer? Will i be able to read it beforehand?
I'm just so confused about the simple basic things… Any ANY help will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I also read that I will need to send letters and resumes via mail/ fax. Which then brings me to my final question: how do i make a resume? Is there a template I fill out or is it something I will have to type out by hand on Word?? </p>
