COLLEGE APPLICATION SYSTEMS AND HOW TO APPLY THE MOST CRUCIAL STEP YOU NEED TO TAKE IN
YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS BESIDES FIGURING OUT WHICH SCHOOLS TO APPLY TO IS TO RESEARCH
THE APPLICATION SYSTEMS THEY USE AND CONSIDER THE LOGISTICS OF USING MULTIPLE APPLICATION
SYSTEMS… HERE ARE THE COLLEGE APPLICATION SYSTEMS THAT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF:
>>COMMON APP: COMMON APPLICATION, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS COMMON APP, IS A CENTRALIZED ONLINE
PORTAL FOR UNDERGRAD COLLEGE APPLICATIONS THAT IS USED BY OVER 900 SCHOOLS IN THE U.S.,
CANADA, AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES ACROSS THE WORLD… THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS INVOLVES
MANY COMPONENTS, FROM COLLEGE ESSAYS AND LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION TO DETAILED ACADEMIC HISTORY
AND TEST SCORES. PORTALS LIKE COMMON APP AIM TO SIMPLIFY, STREAMLINE, AND CENTRALIZE THE
COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF BOTH STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS.
THANKS TO COMMON APP, RATHER THAN SUBMITTING A SEPARATE APPLICATION WITH INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
FOR EVERY UNIVERSITY, YOU CAN SUBMIT ONE SINGLE ONLINE APPLICATION FOR MULTIPLE UNIVERSITIES
WITH COMMON ELEMENTS LIKE PERSONAL INFORMATION, EDUCATION HISTORY, ESSAYS, ACTIVITIES AND
LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION... IN YOUR APPLICATION, YOU WILL INDICATE WHICH COLLEGES YOU WANT
TO APPLY TO, AND THE MEMBER COLLEGES WILL REVIEW YOUR COMMON APP SUBMISSIONS TO MAKE
THE FINAL ADMISSION DECISION... YOU CAN APPLY TO AS MANY AS 20 COLLEGES, BUT REMEMBER THAT
WHILE COMMON APP IS FREE, EACH SCHOOL HAS THEIR OWN APPLICATION FEE, AND THESE CAN END
UP BEING QUITE HEFTY WHEN ADDED UP.
TO APPLY, YOU NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON THE COMMON APP WEBSITE AND UPLOAD ALL YOUR
INFORMATION IN THE RELEVANT TABS. A NEW VERSION OF THE APP COMES OUT ON AUGUST FIRST EVERY
YEAR FOR THE NEXT ADMISSIONS CYCLE, BUT YOU CAN CREATE AN ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME AND START
ENTERING INFORMATION.
>>COALITION APP: THIS IS AN ONLINE CENTRALIZED COLLEGE APPLICATION
PROCESS STARTED IN 2016 BY THE “COALITION FOR COLLEGE ACCESS, AFFORDABILITY, AND SUCCESS”...
ALMOST ALL MEMBER COLLEGES OF THIS ORGANIZATION USE THE COALITION APP FOR THEIR ADMISSIONS
PROCESS.
COMPARED TO COMMON APP, THIS APP IS BOTH NEWER AND BOASTS FEWER MEMBER COLLEGES.... BUT THERE
IS A REASON FOR THIS LIMITED COLLEGE MEMBERSHIP. COALITION APP WAS CREATED FOR THE SPECIFIC
PURPOSE OF HELPING MAKE THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS EASIER FOR TYPICALLY DISADVANTAGED APPLICANTS,
SUCH AS FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE GOERS AND STUDENTS FROM SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY UNDERPRIVILEGED
BACKGROUNDS... THAT’S WHY THEY HAVE SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR MEMBER COLLEGES... THEY MUST
ACCEPT STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE SOCIO-ECONOMIC, CULTURAL, AND GEOGRAPHIC BACKGROUNDS, OFFER
LOW-DEBT FINANCIAL AID THAT MEETS FULL FINANCIAL NEED OR OFFER LOWER IN-STATE TUITION RATES,
AND THEY MUST HAVE HIGH GRADUATION RATES FOR STUDENTS FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS...
THE APPLICATION FORMAT AND SECTIONS ARE ALSO FOCUSED AROUND ENCOURAGING STUDENTS FROM DISADVANTAGED
BACKGROUNDS... FOR INSTANCE, IN THEIR ACTIVITIES SECTION THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY “TYPES”
SUCH AS FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES OR ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES... STUDENTS CAN USE TO EXPLAIN
THEIR UNIQUE SITUATION AND WHY THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE ON THE MORE TRADITIONAL
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES... THEY ALSO ASK STUDENTS TO ONLY IDENTIFY THEIR TOP TWO ACTIVITIES
AND THE REMAINING ARE UNRANKED… UNLIKE WITH COMMON APP WHERE STUDENTS HAVE TO RANK EVERY
ACTIVITY.
>>UNIVERSAL COLLEGE APPLICATION (UCA): THE UCA PORTAL IS ALSO A CENTRALIZED, ONLINE
COLLEGE APPLICATION PORTAL. HOWEVER, IT’S USED BY JUST 3 UNIVERSITIES: HARVARD, CORNELL
AND UNIVERSITY OF CHARLESTON... BUT, ALL THREE OF THESE UNIVERSITIES ALSO ACCEPT COMMON APP...
THOUGH THE UCA HAS A MORE USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE, THIS PORTAL ISN’T A VERY POPULAR CHOICE
BECAUSE OF ITS LIMITED REACH. HOWEVER, SOME STUDENTS WHO ARE APPLYING ONLY TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WITH THEIR OWN APPLICATION SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE ABOVE THREE SCHOOLS MAY FIND IT MORE CONVENIENT
AND EASIER TO USE UCA OVER COMMON APP...
>>INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION SYSTEMS: SOME SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR OWN COLLEGE APPLICATION
PROCESS WHICH THEY MAY CHOOSE TO OFFER ALONG WITH THE PORTALS OR INSTEAD OF THE PORTALS...
PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEND TO HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION SYSTEM... FOR EXAMPLE, UNIVERSITY
OF TEXAS AND THE SUNY HAVE THEIR OWN APPLICATION SYSTEMS BUT THEY ALSO ACCEPT ALTERNATIVES
SUCH AS COMMON APP AND COALITION APP, WHILE MIT AND THE UC SCHOOLS DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER
PORTALS EXCEPT THEIR OWN…
>>CANADIAN COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESSES IF YOU’RE PLANNING ON ATTENDING COLLEGE
IN CANADA, KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT EVERY PROVINCE HAS A STREAMLINED COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS…
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, YOU WOULD NEED TO APPLY THROUGH THE “EDUCATION PLANNER B-C” PORTAL
TO SUBMIT YOUR POST-SECONDARY APPLICATIONS… ALBERTA ALSO HAS THEIR OWN COLLEGE APPLICATION
PROCESS CALLED “APPLY ALBERTA”... AND IN ONTARIO, YOU’RE REQUIRED TO APPLY TO
COLLEGE ON THE OUAC APPLICATION PORTAL… KEEP IN MIND, WITH VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL COLLEGE
APPLICATION PROCESSES IN CANADA, BE SURE TO CONFIRM YOUR APPLICATION CRITERIA DIRECTLY
WITH YOUR SCHOOLS OF CHOICE TO MAKE SURE YOU UTILIZE THE CORRECT COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS...
COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS TIPS MANY STUDENTS WORK HARD THROUGHOUT THEIR HIGH
SCHOOL YEARS TO MEET THE ADMISSIONS CRITERIA OF THEIR DREAM SCHOOLS… YET ALL THAT EFFORT
COULD EASILY BE WASTED IF THEY DON’T INVEST TIME AND EFFORT IN CRAFTING A STAND-OUT APPLICATION
THAT EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATES THEIR BEST QUALITIES. SO, HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOUR APPLICATION
STANDS OUT AND THAT YOU GET THOSE COVETED ACCEPTANCE LETTERS? DON’T WORRY – WE’VE
GOT SOME EXPERT TIPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL!
>>1. START EARLY ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL MISTAKES YOU CAN
MAKE DURING THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS IS TO LEAVE THE APPLICATION SUBMISSION FOR
THE LAST MINUTE. THERE’S SIMPLY NO REASON FOR YOU TO ADD EXTRA STRESS AND PRESSURE TO
YOUR LIFE BY LEAVING THINGS TO THE LAST MINUTE! STARTING EARLY ENABLES YOU TO PREPARE EACH
APPLICATION COMPONENT THOROUGHLY AND LEAVES YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO CHECK AND RE-CHECK EVERY
ASPECT OF YOUR APPLICATION. REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED PLENTY OF TIME TO CRAFT A WELL-WRITTEN
ESSAY, SEEK OUT (AND IF NECESSARY, WRITE) YOUR LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. THESE ELEMENTS
SIMPLY CANNOT BE MANAGED IN A HURRY.
MOREOVER, COMMON APP RECEIVES TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COLLEGE APPLICATIONS EVERY YEAR AND PROCESSES
APPLICATIONS FOR OVER 900 COLLEGES. THEIR INTERFACE IS KNOWN TO BE NOT VERY USER-FRIENDLY,
AND DUE TO THE HUGE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS, THEY CAN’T ALWAYS RESPOND TO TECHNICAL QUERIES
PROMPTLY. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR SUBMISSION UNTIL THE LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE BEFORE THE DEADLINE,
AND YOU RUN INTO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY MISS OUT ON THIS APPLICATION CYCLE
ALTOGETHER!
WHEN SHOULD YOU START? IDEALLY, TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR JUNIOR YEAR. COMMON APP ESSAY
TOPICS ARE RELEASED AROUND THE SPRING SO THAT’S THE IDEAL TIME TO START WORKING ON YOUR ESSAY
FIRST DRAFTS... YOU SHOULD ALSO AIM TO NOTIFY YOUR REFEREES AND ASK FOR YOUR LETTERS BEFORE
YOUR JUNIOR YEAR ENDS, SO THAT THEY HAVE THE SUMMER TO WORK ON THEM…
AT THE LATEST, YOU SHOULD NOT DELAY STARTINGV YOUR APPLICATION BEYOND THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
SENIOR YEAR. YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST TWO MONTHS TO WORK ON YOUR APPLICATION COMPONENTS...
AND IT’S EVEN BETTER TO GIVE YOURSELF ADDITIONAL TIME ON TOP OF THIS, TO DEAL WITH ANY EMERGENCIES
OR DELAYS…
>>2. SELECT SCHOOLS THAT ARE A GOOD FIT MANY STUDENTS UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF USING RESEARCH AND STRATEGY TO SELECT THE SCHOOLS THEY’RE APPLYING TO. IF THE MAJORITY
OF THE SCHOOLS YOU’RE APPLYING TO ARE A WRONG FIT FOR YOUR PROFILE AND VICE-VERSA,
YOU’RE BOUND TO GET MAINLY REJECTIONS. TO IDENTIFY THE SCHOOLS THAT WILL BE A GOOD FIT,
YOU SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THEIR ADMISSION STATISTICS AND CRITERIA AND WEIGHT THEM AGAINST
YOUR OWN ACHIEVEMENTS. HERE ARE SOME OF THE KEY ASPECTS YOU NEED TO CONSIDER:
AVERAGE ACCEPTED GPA AND STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES OF THE MATRICULANTS...
MANDATORY COURSEWORK REQUIRED BY THE SCHOOL... A SCHOOL’S MISSION STATEMENT AND VALUES...
AND A SCHOOL’S DEMOGRAPHIC OR GEOGRAPHIC PREFERENCES OR REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION…
YOUR LIST OF SCHOOLS SHOULD MAINLY INCLUDE UNIVERSITIES THAT, ON-AVERAGE, ACCEPT STUDENTS
WITH YOUR PROFILE AND TYPES OF ACHIEVEMENTS. SO, MAKE SURE YOU STUDY THE COMPOSITION OF
THEIR MATRICULATING CLASS AS WELL AS ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THEIR ADMISSIONS PROCESS TO DETERMINE
IF YOU’D BE A GOOD FIT BEFORE APPLYING. THAT WAY, YOU’LL MAXIMIZE YOUR CHANCES OF
SUCCESS AND AVOID DISAPPOINTMENTS IN THE FUTURE.
>>3. DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENT WRITTEN COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
A KEY QUALITY THAT COLLEGES LOOK FOR IN APPLICANTS IS EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS... THIS
MEANS NOT ONLY YOUR ESSAYS, BUT ALSO YOUR DESCRIPTIONS FOR ACTIVITIES, NEED TO BE PERFECTLY
WRITTEN AND STRUCTURED. MAKE SURE YOUR ESSAY IS CLEAR, COHERENT, AND CONCISE… AND THAT
IT HAS A COMPELLING INTRO AND CONCLUSION, AND A LOGICAL FLOW. YOUR ESSAY SHOULD PRESENT
A COHESIVE NARRATIVE THAT FOLLOWS THROUGH FROM ALL THE OTHER APPLICATION COMPONENTS
AND IS BACKED UP BY THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR HISTORY….
ENSURE YOU REVIEW AND FACT-CHECK EVERY WRITTEN COMPONENT OF YOUR APPLICATION AND ALSO CHECK
IT THOROUGHLY FOR SPELLING ERRORS, GRAMMAR, COHERENCE, STRUCTURE, FLOW, AND SO ON. NOTHING
CAN TURN OFF AN ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE AS QUICKLY AS GLARING SPELLING ERRORS IN A COLLEGE ESSAY.
REMEMBER THAT IN COMMON APP, YOU DON’T HAVE THE OPTION TO GO BACK AND EDIT ESSAYS ON SUBMITTED
APPLICATIONS. SO DON’T SUBMIT YOUR ESSAYS TILL YOU’VE TRIPLE-CHECKED YOUR WORK AND
ARE 100 PERCENT SURE ABOUT THE CONTENT…
>>4. CHOOSE THE RIGHT ACTIVITIES/EXPERIENCES: YOUR LIST OF ACTIVITIES IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF YOUR APPLICATION. MOST COLLEGES TODAY LOOK FOR APPLICANTS WHO DEMONSTRATE
CURIOSITY AS WELL AS EXCELLENCE IN AVENUES BEYOND ACADEMIA. THE ACTIVITIES SECTION OF
YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION IS WHERE YOU CAN REALLY SHOW THAT YOU HAVE THE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND BACK IT UP WITH BY EVIDENCE OF OF YOUR EXPERIENCE AND GROWTH…
GENERALLY SPEAKING, MOST SCHOOLS SEEK APPLICANTS WHO DEMONSTRATE CRITICAL THINKING, MATURITY,
ACADEMIC POTENTIAL, AND INNOVATION. WHILE YOUR ACADEMIC POTENTIAL IS DEMONSTRATED VIA
YOUR GPA, YOUR ACTIVITIES ALLOW YOU TO SHOWCASE THE OTHER QUALITIES FROM THIS LIST…
THERE’S A HUGE SELECTION OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT STUDENTS CAN CHOOSE FROM TO
BUILD THEIR HIGH SCHOOL RESUME, YET MOST APPS HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SPACE AVAILABLE FOR
EXTRACURRICULARS.. COMMON APP ONLY ALLOWS 10 ENTRIES, AND THEY NEED TO BE RANKED, SO
YOU’LL NEED TO THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT WHICH OF YOUR ACTIVITIES TO INCLUDE AND WHICH ONES
TO MARK AS IMPORTANT…
WHEN MAKING THIS DECISION, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES MIGHT BE FAVORED
BY THE SCHOOLS YOU WANT TO GET INTO. FOR INSTANCE, SOME SCHOOLS PRIORITIZE APPLICANTS WHOSE EXPERIENCES
ALIGN WITH THE SCHOOLS’ OWN VALUES AND MISSIONS. THE BEST PRE-MED SCHOOLS OFTEN INCLUDE COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICE AS PART OF THEIR KEY VALUES AND LOOK FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE
COMPLETED MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEER WORK AT NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. SO CONSIDER HOW YOU’VE SHOWN
COMMITMENT TO A PARTICULAR CAUSE, ORGANIZATION, MISSION… OR ABOUT WHAT SIMPLY MAKES YOU
UNIQUE...
>>5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT REFEREES IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT
REFEREES WHO CAN WRITE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION THAT COMPLEMENT YOUR OWN NARRATIVE... IF YOU’RE
TARGETING THE BEST UNDERGRAD BUSINESS SCHOOLS AND YOU’RE CLAIMING TO HAVE A FLAIR FOR
ECONOMICS, BUT IF YOUR PERFORMANCE IN YOUR A-P ECON CLASS WASN’T MEMORABLE, YOUR TEACHER
WON’T BE ABLE TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM... SO ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE RIGHT REFEREES
WHO CAN HONESTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE NARRATIVE OF YOUR APPLICATION. ASK FOR LETTERS FROM
MENTORS, TEACHERS, OR SUPERVISORS WHO LIKE YOU AND UNDER WHOM YOU PERFORMED WELL.
IT’S CRUCIAL THAT YOU ASK FOR THE LETTER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. THE REFEREE WILL APPRECIATE
THAT YOU RESPECTED THEIR TIME AND YOU’LL POSSIBLY GET A BETTER LETTER. ALSO, WHEN YOU
APPROACH YOUR REFEREES, MAKE SURE YOU DISCUSS YOUR KEY ACHIEVEMENTS TO JOG THEIR MEMORY
OF WHAT YOU DID. SOME TEACHERS MAY ASK YOU TO WRITE YOUR OWN
LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CRAFT THE PERFECT LETTER! HOWEVER,
IT’S NOT EXACTLY AN EASY TASK WRITING A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR YOURSELF, SO
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO CRAFT A MEASURED, WELL-SUPPORTED LETTER THAT HIGHLIGHTS YOUR
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS.
