Hi guys, I need your help.
I'm trying to fill out school form on the Common App, such as College Official's Report, evaluation, and etc.
But unlike freshman application, it looks like there is no online submission option available for the transfer students.

Then should I ask my college advisior, secondary school counselor, and professors to handwrite all the applications?
You might suggest typing in using softwares like Acrobat professional, but I feel it would be weird if I send them Acrobat professional setup files and ask them to install it.
However, I feel really sorry for them to ask to handwrite all the applications, so I'm confused.

And, If I want to apply to 10 colleges, then should I ask them 10 copies?
Although I searched the forum for days, I have no idea.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you very much.

They can use pen to mark in the boxes and copy the common application form. Instead of writing 10 letters, they can type one out, and print 10 copies.

What you do:

- Type out all your personal information and all the professor's information you can get using Adobe Professional 9 typewriter tool (install a 30 day free trial, google it)

- Print out 10 copies of the 1st page of the form (for each professor)

- Personally sign all the 10 copies of the first page

- Print out 1 copy of the 2nd page of the form (for each professor)

This way, the professors will have to sign each front-page form (not that big of a deal if you type out all their other information) and they can make 9 copies of the 2nd page (boxes page) of the form.

Remember to provide them with addressed and stamped envelopes and you're good to go.

I just talked to my college advisor and it looks like it won't be a problem.
