<p>I will be a senior next year and am starting to ask teachers for letters of recommendation over the summer. When can I begin to work on my application essays and the rest of the process? When does this information begin to become available for applicants?</p>
<p>This year’s (2012-2013) Common Application will be available August 1. I know of a few schools that already published their supplements for this year, but not many. Look at your schools’ websites to find if they mention anything. If not, then their supplements won’t be available till August 1 when the CA comes out.</p>
