Please be specific, thanks! ]]> Common Application Spintle-314516 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813747-computer-science-univ-better.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813718-print-preview-fine-but-printing-essay-creates-weird-symbols-help.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:19:21 GMT On my print preview my essay looks perfectly fine.
However, once I actually print it out, punctuation such as quotation marks are cut off or transformed into question marks. Also, letters are randomly cut off.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
I'm concerned that the schools will print it out and get the same result! ]]> Common Application crazygirltrac-196873 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813718-print-preview-fine-but-printing-essay-creates-weird-symbols-help.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813703-how-format-my-addition-information.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:01:02 GMT Hi, I am wondering if there are any suggestions on formatting my additional information essay!? My sophomore grades are horrible dropping to a 2.9 from a perfect 4.0 I am not sure whether to make it more story-like similar to my other essays or to make it just the facts. My parents had kicked me out of the house for being gay during my sophomore year. I just hope if I write it just factual that the depth and actual hardship of the event will be moot.

Why does the form even allow you to type past what the printed page allows? What do most schools actually see? ]]> Common Application dannygirsh-293673 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813686-common-common-app-problem.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/813598-can-i-go-muir-college-if-i-am-human-biology-major.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:51:51 GMT I want to apply to UCSD and I was wondering if i can go to Muir college there if I want to major in human biology?
