<p>I'm about to submit my common app. however, when I look at the print preview, some parts are messed up and things are getting cut off. Is that what the admissions officers are going to look at? cuz I don't want them so look at some weirdly formatted printed copy. How do I fix this? or am I screwed?????</p>
<p>btw, the sections that are messed up are my parents' occupation section and the "details" for my activites.</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>Try writing shorter responses, they may fit better.</p>
<p>The same thing happened with me…
I submitted it…
I was still in the character limit… so if theres a problem , it ll be with everyone…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the admissions people read paper copies or electronic ones. It would seem wasteful to print out all that paper. The entries should read fine electronically.</p>
<p>as far as i know, they print them out…
thats how they make 3 piles :P</p>
<p>Previous threads have indicated that you should definitely go conservative and make sure your application looks good on paper vs. the online version. Seems crazy that they can’t add more characters to this section, but that’s the way it is for this year…</p>
<p>i think its okay as long as we’re in the character limit… after all, common app allows us to reach that limit.</p>
