<p>So a few days ago I went on the Common App website and I registered as a user. Upon registration, I noticed that the website only allows me to apply to college via online. I don't want to apply to all of my colleges online because for the more prestigious schools, I want to attach supplements (like a magazine that I published, etc.).</p>
<p>So I looked on the website for where I can sign up on thier mailing list so they send me a common app to my house.</p>
<p>Does anyone know where I can get common apps? (Maybe several of them..lol)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>From the CommonApp website you can only get a printable pdf version of the application. If you want an application to be mailed to you, you have to request it from the college that you would like to apply to.</p>
<p>Actually it's pretty common to apply online and submit extra material by mail. Colleges prefer to get the main application online (many reduce or waive the application fee to give an incentive) so that they don't need to enter all your data manually into their computer.</p>
<p>Apply online and then in the comments box at the end of the app say I'm also sending supplement material by mail. Then mail the magazine with a cover letter explaining why you are sending them extra stuff. Make sure your name and SSN/School ID# are on everything you send in case the sheets get separated in the mailroom.</p>
