As summer winds down and students get ready to return to school, college applications are just waiting to be completed. The Common Application for the class of 2012 is available and most colleges have their applications, essays and deadlines available on their websites. The Common App is accepted at over 460 colleges across the country. With just one application, students can apply to all the universities that accept the Common App. Many colleges ask for additional information and essays, but these supplements can also be viewed and completed.
There are a few universities that do not accept the Common App, notably Georgetown University and most state universities. (Click here for University of Florida, Florida State and University of Central Florida).
Seniors will be busy with academics, extracurriculars and social activities soon enough. Don’t wait until you are feeling overwhelmed with deadlines, essays, and too much information. You can get started now. The applications are there waiting for you.
