I'm getting ready to apply to Carleton and I can't seem to find a straight checklist available for things I need to submit for Carleton.

Obviously, I need to submit the Common App, Supplement, and Standardized Test Scores.
However, I can't find anything submitting things such as transcripts or teacher recommendationss. I assume that I need to submit those things, but I just can't find specifics. Help!! I can always call admissions, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

If I recall correctly, you definitely need your school to send the transcript along with the counselor recommendation on the secondary school report. You will also need two teacher recommendations. It's strange that this isn't spelled out on the Carleton website, but I think it is on the Common App site.

Good luck!

Are you applying ED? If you've already submitted Part 1, you should get a PIN number soon which will take you to this page:

https://apps.carleton.edu/admissions/login/

Once you're able to log in to the site, it shows you exactly what you still need to submit. It also lets you know when the admissions office receives one of the items.

It should spell it all out on the Common App site, as fireflyscout said... I can't recall the exact page but there is one that lists the requirements for each school you have on your list.

How long after submitting Part I till you get a PIN number?

I'm sorry--I don't remember. I wouldn't worry about it for at least a couple more weeks, though...I'm pretty sure it took a while and it definitely came by mail. If you don't have it by 10/15 or so, just call admissions.
