Paper apps question

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Jun 23, 2019 1:21 pm

I’d like to submit as many paper apps as possible to increase the odds that my app is considered (alumni applicant without anyone to make calls on my behalf). For judges that indicate Oscar as the preferred means of submission, but do not say anything about applying via paper, as in nothing prohibiting it or allowing it, is applying by paper acceptable?

As far as I know it is (I did so and didn't get any kind of retort back), but you're better off looking up the judges that don't post on OSCAR, calling chambers to ask about when they're accepting applications for, and then mailing to them. I did that and had a federal district (non-flyover but not DDC/SDNY) within 3 weeks.

Thanks! I’m applying to non Oscar judges as well. But also looking at some on OSCAR.
