What format do adcoms see apps in?

<p>This may seem weird, but when I was reviewing some applications I had finished on Common App in .pdf form, everything just looked less... impressive. Do adcoms see things in .pdf form, the way it's represented on the C.A. site, or something else?</p>

<p>Depends on the college, many are all online now. Everyone else’s is same advantage/disadvantage too.</p>

<p>@arpeggios‌ How do you get your common app in pdf format?</p>

<p>@Mudbone23 I don’t know if you can go back, but there is the option to save as a .pdf after you submit to a school.</p>
