<p>I thought I was going to be bogged down with a hundred different supplemental essays and whatnot, but it doesn't look too bad... much easier typing them all in online then sending them through mail, I personally think... :) </p>
<p>Who's doing it all out by hand? And why? o_O I'm just curious, I'm wondering if there any cons to applying online (since many of my friends seem to all be doing it by hand...)</p>
<p>It's easier for the colleges and for the applicant to do it online. Besides, most of the stuff you have to hand write on a paper app (personal information, scores, etc.) is recorded by someone in the admissions office and put onto a computer before the adcom sees it.</p>
<p>I applied to Upitt not online, because if I did I would have to pay the application fee. </p>
<p>I'll apply everywhere online unless it oppurtunity re-presents itself.</p>
<p>i will probably do most by hand because i like to see everything and i feel more comfortable doing that way. Plus, i have a couple athletic applications that i want to get in the right hands.</p>
<p>It is easier to correct mistakes on a online application.. it's not permanent until you send it in. Also, applications online can have a reduced/free fee. But the main reason is because it makes it easier on the adcoms, and I want to be on their good side as much as possible. So IMHO, making things even just a little easier on them, is a plus.</p>
<p>The only problem I have about applying online is ruining the format of the activities sheet when I paste it in.</p>
<p>Would anyone be willing to share how to structure it for online submission (right now, mine's in table form, but that obviously won't work)?</p>
<p>I'm applying with paper applications simply because it'll be easier to organize myself. For the UC app though, I think I'll be applying online (their paper application is a ***** to fill out).</p>
