"I've always been a good student... so why is this suddenly so hard?" 🎓

If your student is heading to college, know this: struggling at first doesn't mean they're not smart enough, it usually means they haven't built the independent systems college requires yet. The good news? Small, simple habits can turn things around fast.

August 1 is here and that means the Common App opens TOMORROW for the Class of 2027!

🔗 www.commonapp.org

If you’re the parent of a rising senior, now is a great time to gently encourage your student to take a few early steps before the school year starts.

Creating a Common App account and completing the basics—like the activities list, and the profile, family, and education sections—can relieve a lot of pressure come fall. It also gives students time to reflect before diving into their essays.

Here’s a simple to-do list for August:
✔️ Set up the Common App account
✔️ Add colleges and track supplemental essays
✔️ Complete basic information
✔️ Draft (or update) activities descriptions
✔️ Begin (or revisit) the personal statement

Senior year moves quickly. Starting now allows for a more thoughtful — and less stressful — college application experience.

And if your student could use expert guidance, we’re here to help every step of the way: www.educationaladvocates.com/contact

Most students start their Common App essay by picking a topic. The stronger move? Start by understanding what the prompt is actually asking...

✅ Each of the 7 prompts centers on a different theme: growth, curiosity, adversity, or insight
✅ Your topic might fit more than one prompt, but you need to commit to just one
✅ The best stories often come from small, everyday moments, not big achievements

When students understand the prompt first, the right story tends to follow!
