Next year, I am going to be a senior and I would like to start my college application. Should I create a common app right now? And also, do colleges have their essay prompt available right now, or do I have to wait until August 1 when the application opens?
Hi! I’m going to be a senior as well, and I already started my Common App. I’d say start now so you know what information you’re going to need to be gathering, any last minute things you should work to add to your resume, etc. The Common App essay prompts are already available. Many colleges already have their supplements available as well.
