Message: <blockquote data-quote="jonquille" data-source="post: 390687" data-attributes="member: 10962">I was really surprised about this last year when I applied.  I ended up messing up an original form (which was printed on GREEN paper) when I fed it through the printer.  It was all lined up perfectly, I had tested it with photocopies and all, but when I put the real thing through, the text ran directly through the lines, and ..... you get the picture.I had made extra copies of the original form just in case, and so I printed it (lined up perfectly *this* time!), and sent in the application, which was now on regular WHITE paper.A few weeks later, which felt like an eternity on the rolling admissions game, I got a package back from the school saying that I hadn't used their paper, and it wasn't acceptable.  They returned my application and my check and said they would send a blank copy of another green form.I would say:  Don't underestimate admissions committees wanting things done *just* the way they like it.  Being a little anal and trying to follow directions to a T from the start can save you time and headaches later.This process can be a pain at times, no doubt.  Don't forget to keep laughing about it and try to get through it as fast as possible and with as little hand wringing as possible.</blockquote>
