Common App Mid Year Report

<p>Ok this is probably a really dumb question, but how the heck do i send my mid year report for my counselor to fill out for the common app? I can't find a "send" anywhere on the common app...</p>

<p>Print out the downloadable .PDF, and then hand it to your counselor. At least, that's what I did.</p>

<p>Good luck with your applications!</p>

<p>Hmm... I thought that was the counselor's responsibility? We just kind of shove our info/addresses/postage fees at them and they take care of the rest while we shop for thank-you gifts...</p>

<p>Well, don't "shove" it to him/her. It IS their responsibility, so just give it to them and say, "I need you to fill these out and send them to these colleges," and be sure to add a please and thank you. And if your school doesn't supply the info/addresses/postage fees (for some reason, mine does the minute you supply the list of schools), then give it to them in a big old folder, so that it's all self-contained.</p>

<p>Ok thanks guys, I just figured there was a way to submit the counselor part online and then i could send the transcripts myself. I go to a public school and im applying to like 13 schools so its hard for my counselor to do all that. ha thanks</p>

<p>Remember, your applications are your responsibility. Your guidance counselor has a ton of students they are working with and it is the right thing for you to make their job as easy as possible. I suggest that all applicants check with their guidance counselors to see what is their specific school policy on mid-year school report submissions. Every school sets their own policy.</p>

<p>Well right, I don't mean literally "shove"--that does have a bad connotation haha. I meant it's their responsibility once we give them all the necessary forms (though it's our responsibility to track the docs obv.) And it's usually customary to get a gift or at least write a nice thank-you note.</p>

<p>To the OP: I'm glad things worked out! I go to a public school too, but we're actually pretty small and the counselors are still swamped.</p>
