Hello, so I am sort of confused on how to send my information to colleges. I’ve heard that I have to apply online using Common App for the colleges that interest me. Do I also have to send hard copies of transcripts and my personal statement to the colleges, as well? Also, how do I send my SAT test scores, or do the colleges somehow receive all my test scores in order to super score them? Thank you for your replies!
You fill out the Common App which most schools accept and send it to whichever schools you apply to. You will probably also have to fill a supplementary part specific to certain colleges. Some colleges such as the UC system have their own application, so you might have to fill those out too.
Transcripts are ordered from your school or district (talk your guidance counselor for more information) and sent to the colleges you apply to.
SAT scores are sent by CollegeBoard, you can choose which schools to send them from your CollegeBoard account.
