The college application filing season arrives with autumn, and frequently that includes a flurry of questions, concerns, last-minute testing and stress. Students often find themselves caught between college essay deadlines and homework deadlines, wondering how to manage it all.
Relax! Tackle the college application in manageable pieces. The CSU allows students to complete one application and have all the other CSU applications pre-populated. There is no essay on the CSU application, nor is there a section to list activites, awards, leadership or service. No recommendations are required. http://www.csumentor.edu/
The UC allows students to apply to all nine universities with one application and the same essay. The sections on activities, honors, leadership, service, employment and the essays are only entered once, regardless of how many schools the student is applying to. http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/apply-online/index.html
Many schools are using the Common App which is the same application for over 400 colleges! Like the UC application, once you enter all the information, it remains the same for all the schools where it is sent. http://www.commonapp.org/
If you have questions about your college application, please drop by the College & Career Center. We don't know all the answers, but we probably know someone who does.
