<p>What is better: to send application online or to send it by mail.</p>
<p>1) Online is fast and reliable, mail is not.</p>
<p>2) To pay online by credit card is easier and faster than by check/money order.</p>
<p>3) Online application has very limited space (I feel restraint in filling it), but mail hasn’t; you can attach additional pages and resume.</p>
<p>4) Online doesn’t demand printer, unlike mail one.</p>
<p>So, what is better? I can’t resolve, please, HELP!</p>
<p>I used the online application. The only thing I didn't like about it was trying to figure out how to put in my essays; I couldn't figure out whether I should indent it by putting in a couple spaces or just enter-enter between paragraphs.</p>
<p>You can also put any extra stuff in the 'additional comments' (or whatever) section.</p>
<p>Anybody else? What did you choose online or mailing application?</p>
<p>I sent mine by mail. And wrote on it with my own hand (no typewriter for me!) - I may have even used blue pen (I know I used it on other apps, I can't recall if that was allowed on the Harvard one or not). Anyway, sending it by paper and in your own handwriting makes you seem more like a person, rather than an anonymous blob on the other end of the internet. Plus my computer was and still is screwy, so I don't trust it (or any computers, for that matter) to get things where they need to go ... I preferred having the application in my hand and then physically putting in the mailbox and knowing it was physically going to the office ... you get my drift. Just my opinion though.</p>
<p>online app..less hassle.</p>
<p>Can I send my application by mail and pay online?</p>
<p>I did it online. There's definitely an "ahhh" moment when you hit submit... but I guess there's the same feeling when you seal up the envelope.</p>
<p>handwritten all the way for me.... except my essay. I would never subject anyone to more than 5 lines of my handwriting.</p>
<p>you can send by mail and pay by credit card online. that's how i did it.</p>
<p>Great! Invictus, tell, please, where can I get more information about this procedure.</p>
<p>go to harvard.edu. Then, go to Undergraduate Admissions and you can pay somewhere in there.</p>
<p>Do you think it would be ok to print out a copy of the commonapp that you filled out online, fill out the supplement by hand, and then mail everything in?</p>
<p>That sounds fine. You could do the supplement in the same way (fill it out on common app online, and the print it out).</p>
<p>feel waiver only works on paper</p>
<p>woo woo go fee waivers! I say bless those little letters from our guidance counselors. I feel bad asking my mother to pay for my app. fees, so expensive :(</p>
