<p>Sorry if this is kind of dumb, but what’s the difference between using the common app and the Penn app?</p>
<p>do a penn app if you have the time</p>
<p>if you ReAlLy want to come here</p>
<p>I don't think there is even a Penn app this year.</p>
<p>and i quote chinua achebe</p>
<p>"things fall apart"</p>
<p>what a depressing book</p>
<p>should okwonko strike me down with his anger lest I fill out the common app</p>
<p>I like that book.
So are you saying that...if I use the Penn app I'll be looked upon more..favorably? And yes I really do want to go there.</p>
<p>in general, using a school's own application is viewed positively, since you're indicating that you're willing to spend more time and thought on applying to that particular school.</p>
<p>well... wut if someone isnt lazy, but doesnt want to bother his teachers to write 10 different teacher recs for him??? they'll get ****ed at some point...</p>
<p>Thanks for the info! Also...I know this is has probably answered often, but would not attaching a separate resume be looked upon unfavorably? Cause I'm not one of those crazy EC/awards people.</p>
<p>teachers really only have to write one recommendation, usually colleges have their own format, but the ones I have seen say they dont mind if it is in another format</p>
<p>would it be bad to apply to penn ED using common app?</p>
<p>btw... does anyone know whether its possible to send in the common app teacher rec for colleges that dont accept common app?? I wouldnt mind filling out several applications but my teachers definitely would</p>
<p>Keep in mind that all of us used the Penn ap since they never accepted the common app before. Therefore, anything anyone here tells you about preferring one over the other is pure conjecture. Their official policy is that it makes no difference.</p>

<p>what my teachers did was write the recommendations on a separate school-specific form, and then you fill out all the other parts of the app-specific recommendation form for them. Then, all they have to do is make a few copies of the same recommendation, sign the app-specific form, and put both in a pre-addressed, stamped envelope (provided by you)</p>
