This question was brought up sooooo many times, I think, but here I am asking it again.
I am working on some secondaries and I was wondering how bad is it to hand write them? I spent so much time trying to edit some applications by using pdf, but they are coming just to messy, i.e. pictures and graphics from original application forms are impossible to be conserved in the edited versions. Any solution for this? 😕 What should I do? What was the best way of filling secondaries for you guys?

Thanks🙂

people have written neatly in the past and been accepted so that is what I am doing. my parents' typewriter was broken, so what else can a gal do? 👍

I hand wrote the ones that either came in snail mail or was a lousy pdf scan. I seriously am starting to get irritated with schools that have a simple pdf file with nice boxes to type info. I don't even care if we can save info on it. It just is so much easier that way. Plus, I'm sure the evaluators would rather not try to decipher ppl's handwriting.

I know they do this in the pre-allo forum, if you have a secondary in which you made into a nice pdf, please post. We would all appreciate it!! 🙂

Thanks! I have spent 2 hrs trying to edit the LECOM application, but its coming up so weird. So, I just filled it nicely. What can you do.😀

I'd recommend typing if you could. If not, take great care in handwriting. 🙂 I typed or aligned my application to work with the printer.

I figured out how to make forms with "fill in" options yeah!! and there is even typewriter option. wow, ok after the entire day LOL😀

 

[HemaOncoDoc]

Wow, how did you do that?

They were mainly for schools that give you a relatively big blank space, not ones with lines. You make photo copies of the master, and do trial and error. I did that for COMP.

If you don't have pdf professional, and you cant download free trial version from microsoft (I could not, 'cause their link to the free version hasn't been working lately) you can use this site to get it so you can edit and create pdf forms:

I used a typewriter for those also.

I simply typed my essays and wrote "see attached"- oh and I used pretty paper too

I hand wrote some, typed others. What I did was save a copy of the Adobe document as a jpeg or something. There is an option on the Adobe Reader to do this. Then, I pasted it into powerpoint or Word, and put text boxes over the empty spaces where I had to fill things in. It worked fairly well, but I got tired of doing it after a while, so then I started handwriting.
