<p>Are the applications viewed on computer or in print?</p>
<p>Both. Depends on schools. Harvard, for example, recently switched to an all-electronic review (paperless).</p>
<p>@viphan Oh… Do you know of the cases of any of the following schools? Emory, WashU, Notre Dame and NYU :)</p>
<p>Why does it matter?</p>
<p>@skieurope I’m thinking of attaching a link on the application, and if it’s viewed in print it would be of no use.</p>
<p>@wldb15: I recommend a little caution. Universities have specific application size/word limitations for good reasons. If the URL’s use were perceived as a way to obviate such application constraints – in an attempt to gain an unfair competitive advantage – I believe this could potentially hurt your admission probability. Please understand, I am not suggesting that this is – or would be – your intent; however, an admissions reader might feel that you were trying to employ the link to place more information in your file than other candidates are allowed. </p>
<p>I think it would depend on what the link is. If it is a link to additional text that you did not have room to fit in your application, that sounds like a bad idea. If it’s a link to an article about you, or a website about your athletic statistics/achievements, same thing. On the other hand, if it is a link to, say, a website you designed or a business you created, and you are referencing it as proof that you actually did it, then it seems fair game to me to identify the website and leave them to check up on it on their own, if they desire to verify your claim. </p>
<p>However, that said, it seems unnecessary to provide a clickable link to such a thing. You could simply identify it for verification purposes. If they want to verify it, they can type in the address themselves. </p>
