<p>Haha: I’m quite sure the admissions officers don’t care what kind of pen / pencil you’re using, as long as it’s bold, easily readable and not a ridiculous color (yellow??). If you’re a crazy perfectionist (like me!) and beat yourself up in your sleep about not using the original pen, then wait until tomorrow, or go out to some store and buy the necessary pen.</p>
<p>although i’m quite sure they’re not going to deduct points for using 2 different pens…</p>
<p>^ dont’ people normally do that? O_O I do that on a test when my pen’s running out of ink and i don’t want to switch pens because i have an almost-ocd of going crazy when i see two different pens used for one assignment.</p>
<p>my parents are so un-asian SOMETIMES XD they just want my stuff finished a week ahead of time, but they don’t reinforce it that much unless i barely have anything done.</p>
<p>hmmm what do you think admission officers would think if you wrote your essay in a different color? like glitter or gel pens? pink, red, gold, silver? do you think they’d think it was unprofessional or just plain cute?</p>
<p>O ok then I guess its fine. I typed mine then just copy it onto the paper so I don’t make much mistakes. Had to use white out once on each one tho.</p>
<p>First impressions are everything.
You really can’t impress anyone with a color pen.
We don’t live in Legally Blonde.
No need to get mad. I was just trying to help you.</p>
