has anyone had any experience with online versus printed out applications, and “uncommon” verses the commonapp.org?
i just wonder how a college can disregard teh fact that someone (like me) can be lazy and just apply to 20 schools at once thru common app…
<p>There will be some extra work, very likely, if you do the Common App. For instance, you should check to be sure whether or not there are supplementary questions to be answered and essays to be written for each of your colleges. Some people find they do not like the EC formatting of the Common App online. S1 did his Common App from a pdf. file, using Adobe Acrobat Professional (available in a local college library) then copied out the finished app for each school. You will have to ask for letters of recommendation for all of your schools, I suspect, so you may be required to limit the number of apps you send. Does your school have any limitations? The fees also keep most people from sending in 20, especially since you will need to have tests scores sent for each. </p>
<p>Most importantly, you will be benefitted if you consider well what you are looking for in a school, then narrow the choices down to around six or so, with a reach or two, a match or two and a safety or two that you can LOVE.</p>
<p>U aforementioned a guy using Acrobat to write his information :)
But I don't have Acrobat to write it & it means I 'll have to write it BY HAND , do u think it's good ? I just fear my handwriting is not really ligible, should I write BY HAND ? Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>Huh, would anyone help me with my question ? Thanks</p>
<p>you can apply online. or there're some pdf files which has interactive text fields in them, you can fill that using Adobe Reader, which is free.</p>
