Personal Essays

When writing these essays, some schools are going to ask you to write on a specific subject

If not choose five to seven topics, These are the only ones you are going to write about. Some examples are:

Your love of a particular club
Your love of a sport
Your Love of Cars
Your love of fashion
...

Make your title, then walk away for a bit. When you come back start writing on that particular topic, when the writing stops flowing, STOP. Move on to the next topic

Whichever topic flows the easiest is the one you will want to go with. Make this about you and don't overthink it. This essay is about who you are.

Common App

Common App is an application that a number of colleges use for bringing the college application process to a single place.

You will want to create a Common App account with a personal email account as you can continue to use this after you graduate. (Your school email account will be de-activated at that point)

After you create your Common App Account you will need to agree to the FERPA Waiver. One of the stipulations of common app is that you will not view or modify any letters of recommendation while you are still in High School. Once you graduate you will be able to view the letters as specified in your FERPA rights.

Linking Common App to Naviance

You can link your Common App Account to your Naviance account. For those institutions that leverage common app it will streamline the Letters of Rec and Transcript request processes

NOTE: If you do not already have a Common App account created you will need to create one (The school does not do this for you). You will also need to have at least one college added to colleges I'm applying to in both Naviance and Common App
