RE: Do schools pay attention to typed applications as opposed to handwritten ones?

I highly doubt if a school will accept you just for the fact that you typed your application, but what is important is making the application as neat as possible. If you do not have nice handwriting you may want to consider it, or you may want to consider asking someone who does have nice handwriting to do it for you. And make sure there are not stains of any kind, my sister did that and she had to order another one.

RE: Do schools pay attention to typed applications as opposed to handwritten ones?

My advice is to do online applications. Public libraries and schools have computers you can use, and the VAST majority of applications are now done online. It is so much easier for them and for YOU. You can use the common application for several applications, saving you much time and effort.
