what does the common application look like?

Applying to College
1

<p>i’m a junior, so of course i can’t create an account there yet. but i figure its better to be prepared. so what does it look like? what sections are there that you have to fill out? (eg. awards, leadership, jobs???) and is it true that you have to check off the years that you’ve done it, as well as the hours per week, and the payroll?</p>

<p>You can take a look at the forms here: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yes, you must be very detailed and very realistic in the years and hours per week for your ECs. </p>

<p>Read the warning carefully about deception–colleges state they can rescind your admittance, kick you out, or rescind your degree after college graduation if deceit on the application is discovered.</p>

<p>yea you have to be realistic about hours, but not down to the smallest details. for example, if you did 0 hours in a club for 3 weeks then 8 hours the next week, you can just put 2 hours per week for 4 weeks.</p>

<p>stuff like that. its not technically “true” but its not like youre trying to lie. dont add extra hours…wont really help and as the previous poster said you could get in trouble.</p>
