<p>Parent here. We are mailing in our apps to various colleges, not submitting them online, including the CommonApp.
If the information and the essay, essentially the whole Common App form, is the same for all of them, is it okay to make scanned or xerox copies of the completed form,then mail a copy to each college, rather than laboriously fill out the same form many, many times? Would it look tacky? Anyone done it that way?</p>
<p>You can. Just make sure your Future Plans section isn't filled out before photocopying.</p>
<p>because the student would be possibly applying for differing programs and requesting different things from each college. I guess the colleges realize that students apply to many! especially in these financial times when comparing finaid packages.</p>
