Common App questions - important

<p>D needs advice. </p>

<p>Does she place all of her SAT II scores on the face of the application or just the top three? (We are aware that all will be seen when the score report arrives, but not sure if schools want the app cluttered with extras.)</p>

<p>Also, she is not submitting a resume...she made good use of all the extra boxes and feels a resume will be redundant. I think she is right. What is the general consensus out there?</p>

<p>And she did provide an extra essay to those colleges that allowed it. Her common app essay is well written, but risky. The supplemental essay is well written, extremely humorous and not at all risky. Should she switch them?</p>

<p>Thanks guys...she's trying to wrap this up and appreciates the help. (One of these days, I'm going to get this busy girl to register, so she can ask her own questions. Now back to the parent forum for me! :-)</p>

<p>I put any scores that didn't fit in the additional info section just in case any colleges wanted to see them. It seemed to work fine. I did the same with the AP scores on the supplemental app for Harvard. I'm not qualified to answer the other questions, sorry.</p>

<p>I'd say whatever essay she likes better should be her main common app one.</p>

<p>Thanks PorSK and all4:</p>

<p>I think she likes both essays, both are humorous; but the common one is a little more irreverent and a bit frivolous. The goal of her essay was to impress with her writing skill, not her resume....so she kinda went off on a funny little tangent. I think she is stuck with that one as the common topic, because she just realized the supplemental topics don't give you the option of a 'topic of your choice'.</p>

<p>Re: scores...she only has 4 SAT IIs, but was going to list the top three and let the 4th show up on her score report. But since there is enough boxes, she decided to list them all.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>
