Important Reminder for High School Seniors:
The Common App opens August 1st
“Why Use the Common App?
1. Simplifies Applications:
During your senior year, balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and college applications can be challenging. The Common App allows you to enter your personal details, academic history, and extracurricular activities just once, and then send this information to any participating colleges you wish to apply to.
2. Manages College Essays Efficiently:
One of the key components of the Common App is that it eliminates the need for multiple college essays. With the Common App, you write a single personal essay that’s sent to all the colleges on your list. This saves you time and effort. It allows you to focus on crafting a strong essay that highlights your unique experiences and strengths. Some colleges may require supplemental essays, which can also be managed through the Common App.
3. Streamlines Recommendation Process:
The Common App makes it simpler to submit letters of recommendation. You can invite your teachers and counselors to upload their letters directly to the platform. It’s easy to track the status and be assured that all required documents are submitted.
4. Includes a Fee Waiver Option:
Applications come with fees, but if that’s a concern, the Common App offers a fee waiver request option. If you’re eligible for SAT fee waivers, you can have your application fees waived at many colleges. This makes it less burdensome for students from various financial backgrounds to apply.
5. Provides Deadline Management:
The Common App lets you keep track of all your application deadlines in one place, which is especially useful during your busy senior year. This feature helps you stay organized so you won’t miss any deadlines. “
