Quick questions

Applying to College

<p>hey guys!
thanks so much for helping with these questions--i just want to know more about the fine details involved with the application process.</p>

<p>okay. on with the questions.
so is it really better to submit applications written by hand? i have heard some people say that actually handwriting gives the application a more unique feel--different. but some sites seem to encourage online applications. so...
also, is it horrible to submit some parts of the application online while others through the mail? because i am worried that the teacher rec parts will be sent through mail while the common aps will arrive online. is it bad to do that, or is it better to submit it all through the same means?
if i choose to hand write the common ap, can i just make copies of it and send it out, or do i have to fill it out.
advice?</p>

<p>thanka you.</p>

<p>1) It is not better to handwrite the application. It makes it difficult to scan into the computer, and is more difficult to read.
2) Letters of rec are usually sent by mail, even if applications are submitted on line. No big deal.
3) What do you mean, "do I have to fill it out"? You have to fill out the Common App. You can then photocopy it, sign each photocopy and mail them.</p>
