Do I have to?

Applying to College

<p>Ok, so for the common app. I filled out the Secondary School Report with a paper and pen. I am using the common app. on the internet though and I want to know if I still have to fill it out on the internet even though my school will be sending the form out with my transcripts? On the common app. website it says</p>

<p>"Current Year Courses:</p>

<p>Please indicate title, level (AP, IB, advanced, honors, etc.) and credit value of all courses you are taking this year. If you have already graduated from secondary school and are not currently enrolled in college, you should enter the courses from your final year of secondary school.
NOTE: This information will not print in your application."</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>you might want to post this in the <strong><em>official common app</em></strong>** thread</p>

<p>That thread is way too confusing. Too many things are going on. I tried looking for an answer in there and god that thing is long.</p>

<p>You misunderstand. If you POST your QUESTION in that thread it will get read by LOTS of people who have already posted in that thread and you are more likely to get a response. Good luck</p>

<p>D filled out the Common App and printed the form with the Common ID before giving the form to her counselor. If the CA lets you move forward without any error message then it should be ok for you to do that. But my suggestion is filled it out anyway because the colleges might look at the online application. It does not hurt if you have to fill it out. It takes about 5 minutes anyway. It’s easier to just do it.</p>

<p>I liked filling it out online, it made sure my SS#, name, DOB were all perfect and clear. My counselor’s handwriting on the other hand…</p>

<p>Yes that is a good reason. Don’t have to put SS if it states optional. I know DD did not put SS.</p>

<p>I wrote all that good stuff neatly. I put this in that big thread as some of you requested. </p>

<p>I would just rewrite it but I don’t know exactly what order I put the classes in and how exactly I wrote it out.</p>

<p>I don’t think the order matters. DD used the transcript and copied verbatim. Whatever the order in the transcript is what she has them in the CA.</p>
