<p>I have heard that Brown prefers paper applications- so does it lower your chances in the slightest if you use the online application? A lot of my friends are wondering about this two, and I am fairly concerned- if you have any idea, please let me know! Thanks!</p>

<p>My son successfully used the Brown online application last year. The process of filing online was smooth and looked pretty good. He was even able to up-load his resume in exactly the format he had chosen. Since Brown does NOT accept the Common App, I cannot imagine them looking unfavorably at their own application, in whichever form.</p>
<p>That's funny, I've heard that most schools prefer that you apply online. Either way, it shouldn't influence your chances.</p>
<p>Unless your paper app has ketchup stains on it.</p>
<p>Apply online! I did paper app, and it took like a month for me to get my ID and password. Gosh!</p>
<p>yeah....I did paper app too...haven't receinved my ID and password yet :(</p>
