<p>What is better: to send application online or to send it by mail.</p>
<p>1) Online is fast and reliable, mail is not.</p>
<p>2) To pay online by credit card is easier and faster than by check/money order.</p>
<p>3) Online application has very limited space (I feel restraint in filling it), but mail hasn’t; you can attach additional pages and resume.</p>
<p>4) Online doesn’t demand printer, unlike mail one.</p>
<p>So, what is better? I can’t resolve, please, HELP!</p>
<p>I used the online application. The only thing I didn’t like about it was trying to figure out how to put in my essays; I couldn’t figure out whether I should indent it by putting in a couple spaces or just enter-enter between paragraphs.</p>
<p>You can also put any extra stuff in the ‘additional comments’ (or whatever) section.</p>
<p>Anybody else? What did you choose online or mailing application?</p>
<p>I sent mine by mail. And wrote on it with my own hand (no typewriter for me!) - I may have even used blue pen (I know I used it on other apps, I can’t recall if that was allowed on the Harvard one or not). Anyway, sending it by paper and in your own handwriting makes you seem more like a person, rather than an anonymous blob on the other end of the internet. Plus my computer was and still is screwy, so I don’t trust it (or any computers, for that matter) to get things where they need to go … I preferred having the application in my hand and then physically putting in the mailbox and knowing it was physically going to the office … you get my drift. Just my opinion though.</p>
<p>online app…less hassle.</p>
<p>Can I send my application by mail and pay online?</p>
<p>I did it online. There’s definitely an “ahhh” moment when you hit submit… but I guess there’s the same feeling when you seal up the envelope.</p>
<p>handwritten all the way for me… except my essay. I would never subject anyone to more than 5 lines of my handwriting.</p>
<p>you can send by mail and pay by credit card online. that’s how i did it.</p>
<p>Great! Invictus, tell, please, where can I get more information about this procedure.</p>
<p>go to harvard.edu. Then, go to Undergraduate Admissions and you can pay somewhere in there.</p>
<p>Do you think it would be ok to print out a copy of the commonapp that you filled out online, fill out the supplement by hand, and then mail everything in?</p>
<p>That sounds fine. You could do the supplement in the same way (fill it out on common app online, and the print it out).</p>
<p>feel waiver only works on paper</p>
<p>woo woo go fee waivers! I say bless those little letters from our guidance counselors. I feel bad asking my mother to pay for my app. fees, so expensive :(</p>
