paper versus electronic

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>is it a bad thing if i send my application the good-old fashioned way - on paper? i've been told by my college counselor that universities loathe paper, but I've attended many summer programs, have taken classes post-secondary two years, am sending extra materials, am sending a more comprehensive activity list, etc. etc. If I were to submit my application online at commonapp.org, I would have to send a huge chunk of my application again through paper anyway, which seems strange and even more unwieldy than just sending the whole thing through paper...</p>

<p>are paper applications cool, or should i still send it online?</p>

<p>Uhh...colleges don't care.</p>

3

<p>online there are sections where you can write all the extra stuff</p>

<p>i know that the common app itself has a box and the supplement has another</p>

<p>I have the same question.</p>

<p>Harvard says that it has no preference, but I am doubtful of that?</p>

5

<p>Why would you be? Geez....anxious seniors ask the darnest things!</p>

<p>Colleges receive your online app, and then print it. I see no difference between doing it online vs. sending in the paper app. </p>

<p>But if you do use the paper app, make sure your handwriting is neat (or type it).</p>
