Have a high school senior applying to college? Here’s something you need to know…
Are you familiar with the Common Application (Common App), a digital college application that is accepted by hundreds of universities and colleges across the country? Instructions and FAQs on the site explain how to add and upload information to the application, but details about what information is appropriate and useful to add is nowhere to be found. There’s no advice on how to make an individual application standout, be strong and effective.
Collegewise and Reach Higher have teamed up on a 60-page step-by-step guide for students and high school counselors that holds students’ hands through the stress of college applications using the Common App. The guide covers everything from what students are advised to answer if they’ve already taken college courses but weren’t happy with their grades to why your high school course names should match what is written on your transcript, and the most common mistakes made by students on the essay section for each of the seven prompts available to choose from on this year’s application.
