📚 ONE APPLICATION. MULTIPLE COLLEGES.

Why do so many students use the Common App?

The Common App lets them use one application platform to apply to multiple participating colleges—which can make the college application process more manageable. 🎓
They can complete their common information once, then focus their energy on the parts that make each application unique.

✨ Some benefits:
• Save time ⏰
• Keep applications organized 🗂️
• Track college-specific requirements
• Manage essays and supplemental questions
• Request recommendations through the platform
• Explore colleges all in one place

⚠️ But remember: Common App doesn’t mean every college has the exact same application requirements. Some schools may require additional essays, questions, portfolios, or other materials.

💡 GEAR UP TIP: Before they hit “submit,” have them check each college’s requirements and deadline carefully. Don’t assume every school is the same!
A little organization now can save you and your student a LOT of stress later. 🙌

5️⃣ Explore Financial Aid Resources 💰🎓

Talking about how to pay for college can feel stressful—but avoiding the conversation won’t make it easier.

✅ DO: Explore FAFSA, scholarships, grants, institutional aid, and other financial aid resources together.
🚫 DON’T: Assume college is unaffordable before researching available options.

Knowledge is power when it comes to paying for college! 💪💵

🎓 WHAT IS THE COMMON APP?

Applying to college can leave your student feeling overwhelmed—but the Common App can make the process a little easier!
The Common Application (Common App) is an online college application platform that allows students to apply to more than 1,100 colleges and universities using one application system. 🌟

Instead of entering the same basic information over and over, they can complete their profile, education history, activities, and other common questions once and then use that information when applying to multiple participating colleges.

💡 Why does it help?
✅ Keeps their college applications organized
✅ Saves time by reusing information
✅ Lets them research colleges and add them to their list
✅ Helps them track requirements and deadlines
✅ Allows them to work on applications from their computer or mobile device

📌 Tip: You don’t have to wait until they're ready to apply to get started! Creating an account and exploring the application can help you both understand what information they'll need.
Their college application journey starts with a plan! 🚀

4️⃣ Know the SAT & ACT Policies 📝🎓

Test-optional does NOT mean every college has the same testing policy.

✅ DO: Check each college’s current SAT/ACT policy and find out whether scores are required, optional, recommended, or considered in other ways.
🚫 DON’T: Assume one policy applies to every school on your student’s list.

Encourage your senior to research each college carefully so they can make informed decisions! 🔍📚
