On-line vs. paper applications - are they created equal?

<p>My kids prefered paper apps. However, they printed the common app and mailed that in. One attached a resume; one did the “additional page.” They are now at an Ivy and a top LAC, so I guess it was okay.</p>

<p>The one who applied to Columbia did the online app as Columbia was quite clear that they wanted it that way.</p>
