<p>The online app is still not up but I have the paper one sitting in my room. I was told by a lady in the admissions office to either stick to the online or paper version of the application. Now that I've been waiting since "After Labor Day 2008," should I just send in the Form 1A on paper and do the paper app (to get a better chance of having an interview) or continue to wait for the online app. Does Penn prefer one over the other?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know when the online app will be up?</p>

<p>i called them 4pm today, and he said either end of this week (i'm guessing saturday) or the beginning of next week (monday).</p>

<p>that's a really good question... i've been waiting for the online penn app too, but i already gave my teachers the counselors the paper recommendation forms and the secondary school report... that's ok right?</p>

<p>I did the same jadore, I don't think it's possible to do recs online for Penn</p>

<p>So if we are applying via common app, do we still need to send out the form 1A by paper?</p>

<p>i was wondering the same thing too about the common app.</p>

<p>We've also been wondering if the UPenn form 1A is required if using the Common Application. Did anyone receive an answer to this question?</p>
