<p>Does it matter? I'm leaning towards uploading docs.</p>
<p>me too i'm wondering the same. Well they did state that not all symbols in microsoft word can be displayed typing the essay straight in, plus it might change or shift the paragraphs a bit..it happened with one of my other college apps so i think best thing is to upload it...that way you won't make a typo even though you proofread it a hundred times, and you're sure about the format and stuff.</p>
<p>I have windows vista, so it wouldn't accept it if you tried to just attach it-I had to type it in. But the format didn't change too much, so I don't think it really matters.</p>
<p>If you upload the document your chances for getting admitted are 15% lower.</p>
<p>vc08- in windows vista, you can change the format of the document to a word 1997-2003 document when you save it. i do this all the time at school because i dont have vista at home.</p>
<p>ah, ok, thanks, i already sent it in, but good to know for future apps. thanks :)</p>
<p>no problem. the new word is kind of confusing, and i could have used the advice before i couldnt open my homework once lol.</p>
<p>just used it for the UNC application, and it worked great. Thanks again!</p>
