College App Headstart? Help please :)

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>SOOO everyone says you should start working on college apps and college essays in the summer of your junior year...which is coming up for me. </p>

<p>But since most colleges don't release their applications or anything until July or August, what exactly should I be working on? </p>

<p>What parts of the college app process could i start over junior year summer? </p>

<p>Also, are there any prompts of colleges that generally don't change form year to year and I can work on them over summer for sure? </p>

<p>It would also be AWESOME if people could post some of the prompts and supplementary questions they had (along with the college it was from) that they had to answer this application season.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your help!</p>

<p>The Common Application essay prompts will remain the same next year. You can view them on this pdf of the application: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2012/2012AppFY_download.pdf[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2012/2012AppFY_download.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
