in terms of making an impression on the college?
of course my handwriting is legible. i just mean how neat does it have to be? im a perfectionist and could spend a long time but i dont really have the time. im applying to a lot of schools and it takes a long time to write addresses
its just that i cant write straight across without my line like going down
If you write illegibly, it could be sent back to you, or mailed wrong. And I'm pretty sure you don't want your college application going to some old guy, right? [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Even if you have bad handwriting it's not like it's hard or it will hurt to take the time to write it nice. If your handwriting is so bad that you can't, you need help. Get a handwriting coach or something. I know someone that had to do this, it helped a lot. Anyway, a college isn't going to reject you because your handwriting is a little sloppy. That would be ridiculous. However, you're supposed to write addresses neatly anyway, for the Post Office. If they can't read it, it's not gonna get there. Just write neat. There's no reason to purposely write sloppy now that you've been thinking about it. [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
