<p>If you're typing the common app, should you type normally or in all CAPS?</p>
<p>& if parent didn't go to college...should you just leave that field blank or put n/a</p>
<p>do you want the admissions officer to think you're screaming at him during your essay?</p>
<p>haha...reason i ask is b/c the online application automatically does CAPS ON ONE OF THE SECTION lol</p>
<p>My graphic designer buddy says all caps are much harder to read, because the eye tends to see the similar-sized letters as a mass.</p>
<p>If I saw an app written in all caps, I'd reject it automatically. :P</p>
<p>I don't think it matters whether or not you leave the paren't college box blank or type in "N/A". They'll get the point either way.</p>
