Application Season Starts Now

The Common App is officially live, which means college application season has begun. For seniors, this is the perfect time to get organized, understand the process, and avoid last-minute stress.

Step 1: Complete Your Profile

Start by entering your personal, family, education, and activities information. Review every section carefully and make sure your details are accurate and consistent with your school records.

Step 2: Build Your College List

Add your target colleges to the Common App and check each school’s requirements. Pay attention to deadlines, supplemental essays, recommendation requirements, and testing policies.

Step 3: Highlight Your Activities

Your activities section should show more than participation. Focus on meaningful involvement, leadership, impact, and achievements. Prioritize the experiences that best represent who you are.

Step 4: Work on Your Essays

Your personal statement is your opportunity to share your story beyond grades and test scores. Start early, write authentically, and leave enough time for thoughtful revisions.

Step 5: Review Before Submitting

Before hitting submit, carefully check every section, essay, document, and deadline. A final review can help catch avoidable mistakes.
