<p>Instead of having Mom write the answers in, word process the answers, then cut out the word processed answers and paste them in on your application. If you then Xerox the application, the cut and pasted parts will look neat. Colleges don’t mind getting a Xeroxed copy of the app. Just make sure you sign the copy that you send. After all, colleges will make Xeroxed copies of your application anyway.</p>
