<p>ROFLMAO - uh, what does that mean?</p>
<p>hahahahahahah</p>
<p>"Online apps cut off my essay at exactly 500 words."</p>
<p>WHAT!? </p>
<p>INJUSTICE! Tell me this isn't so!</p>
<p>On another thread, someone posted that their g.c. sends photos with the transcripts but they sent the WRONG photo with their transcript and it was NOT for the better.</p>
<p>So you are laughing your *ss off?</p>
<p>Sorry, didn't get it at first because I don't spend any time doing IMs - I'm too busy trying to fight world hunger.</p>
<p>If you think that is so funny - you should read the New Yorker thread about 'looks'. I can honestly say, I don't look like my peers (and that is a GOOD thing).</p>
<p>This is from another thread regarding hooks:</p>
<ol>
<li>At ivy schools, being good looking helps somewhat. If you search a thread for history of HYPS, you will see that I am not joking.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, if you've got it - use it.</p>
<p>btw - Brown requires a photo with your application.</p>
<p>Hey, it's worldshopper. :) I don't have any snide comments for you today, sorry.</p>
<p>My GC is kind of funny though; I guess she's old-fashioned, but she "doesn't trust those computers" and is more afraid of something getting lost or missent through cyberspace than through the mail. So I'll be submitting everything in paper.</p>
<p>I would think most schools prefer online, since it's less paperwork for them to potentially lose.</p>
<p>Some colleges are basically only online (the UC system). Other than them, I submitted everything on paper. I typed essays and wrote out everything else. I don't think that this made any difference in my admittance. The only difficulty I had with lost mail was with a teacher recommendation, which would have been mailed anyway.</p>
<p>Jimmy: You're a hoot!</p>
<p>like an owl</p>
<p>wow worldshopper, all i said was i thought it was funny and you start defending yourself with post after post, someone has insecurities...</p>
<p>I fail to see where I have tried to defend myself; I was just trying to be funny too. You read too much into my post. :)</p>
<p>lol thats such a lie</p>
<p><<someone has insecurities...</p>
<p>And it doesn't take long to find out who that person is. In just two short posts; you have exhibited 2 characteristics of someone who has a P.D.</p>
<p>lol ok w/e</p>
<p>the vast majority of colleges prefer or encourage you to submit the online app. don't they?</p>
<p>and how do you submit recommendations online?...</p>
<p>LOL, worldshopper, you just sorta incite criticism, don't you? It must be difficult being you</p>
<p>mun: for most colleges, you don't submit them online. You mail them in while the rest of your app is electronic. Although I did hear of one college that has recently begun allowing teachers to email their recs.</p>
