Applying “online” – fast, but not always a good idea!

You can, of course, apply online direct to the institution yourself via their website.
Many universities, schools and colleges encourage this and it is obviously much easier and quicker than mailing your application. However, here are some things to consider before you do this:

You may make a mistake – it is sometimes difficult to check for errors on a screen and
  when you have sent it, you cannot change it!
Your English may not be good enough and you might be rejected just because of this (even
  if your academic scores are good)
Thousands of other applications are sent like this by other students from all over the world.
  The application is not in your handwriting – it looks the same as all the other applications!
  A handwritten application form is unique and special to you!
Even if there is interest in your application, you will still have to mail authenticated
  documents like transcripts, certificates and references before you receive a final offer – you
  cannot send a signed reference online!
You may be wasting your time! Some universities require very high academic and English
  Language qualifications. If you apply to one of these when your qualifications are not good
  enough you will probably be unsuccessful
