We're back and just in time for the launch of the new Common Application (or CA4) tomorrow, August 1. However, that doesn't mean you have to submit your applications at 12:01am! Don't be in such a rush to get everything done. There is no grand prize for being first to submit an app!
Seniors, the first thing you need to do is schedule a meeting with your counselor to review your list of schools and go over procedures (like how to request transcripts). If you're getting anxious, then schedule that meeting sooner than later (even before school starts!). Although you may have started a rough draft of your essay, you will be writing college essays in English class, and your teacher will provide you with appropriate feedback. Mrs. Goldbach and I also want to proofread your applications (including essays) before they are submitted.
If you're coming to Application Boot Camp next week, we will go over all of this (and more), but if you can't come, don't panic. In one way or another, we'll provide you with everything you need to know.
So take a deep breath! The year will be a busy one, but we'll get you through it.
