Does anyone have a list of schools that use online secondaries and/or snail mail secondaries?

Everyone uses online except for a few schools. The two I know that use snail mail are George Washington and Howard.

Snail mail was the reason I did not apply to Rosalind Franklin.

That was the only reason you didn't apply to RF? If so, and you don't mind me asking...why was that a deal-breaker?

IIRC, I couldn't type into the form and print it out, so having to write neatly and carefully bothered me (think: what if the ink smeared?! I'd have to rewrite it!). Then I'd have to physically write a $100 check and snail mail it with the app, not knowing if my application was processed almost immediately like other schools...I wasn't a fan of this 1980s way of applying.

Also, the other reason was that because it was a snail mail application, I ended up doing the other secondaries first since it could be processed immediately, and then sort of forgot about theirs and just said screw it.😛

Oh ok that makes sense. I almost gave up on Howard because of not being able to type without messing up the format of the secondary. Sorry to hi-jack your thread OP...back to your question.

UCSF was all snail-mail.

 

[JmanDO]

SUNY Downstate is too, I believe.

Wayne State too!

Columbia you had to mail some stuff in as well (I think it was your photos)

Loyola sends you the link electronically but you snail mail the forms back to them.
