<p>helen, it’s an abbreviation for “social security number”. lol. i always though it was just an american thing so i don’t see why they would make you list one if you’re an international applicant! but i could be wrong :p</p>
<p>Silverturtle, I think for Writing they mean the combined english and writing section.</p>
<p>Sorry i am a bit tired but i thought it would be something like this:/</p>
<p>Yes I would like to ask if we have to submit it because I apply for financial aid also…</p>
<p>Hi guys - tech support is available via the Common App website - if you have any questions - submit a question within the help area. You have many months to work on this application - it doesn’t need to be done on midnight August 1 -</p>
<p>^ Hey dude.</p>
<p>Pretty cool that they have a tech support guy posting here haha.</p>
<p>HelpWithSchools, the same thing could be said about you, no? :p</p>
<p>For the question that says:</p>
<p>“If you have taken any courses at a College or University for credit or have attended any enrichment programs hosted on a college campus, check this box”, </p>
<p>I’m not sure about what type of enrichment activities they are looking for or mean…I’ve done programs like Girls State & Governors School, would I put those there? (I guess this is a special new thing for summer programs is it?) Would this also include internships? I did a science one for 8 weeks but received no pay, so it’s not really a job.</p>
<p>what is the permanent address? i used to live in america and then i moved to Asia and currently live here and am going to finish high school here. which address should i write?</p>
<p>Probably the address you’ll be at this year</p>
<p>Helen, you do not have a social security number unless you’re from America or (i think) Canada. The app says you have to give your social security number if you are applying for need based financial aid. </p>
<p>You need to ask some common app person about this. My take on it though is I don’t think you /can/ apply for need based financial aid unless you’re an american citizen.</p>
<p>They only let me put 3 enrichment activities! I have taken four courses over the summers, and I have also attended girls state… do you think it would be okay if I put Girls State under awards instead? It is an award at my school, since it is pretty competitive.</p>
<p>hey, how’s everyone doing on their CommonApp accounts?</p>
<p>good! mines done pretty much :)</p>
<p>how do you get to the common app?</p>

<p>How do I find the online request form?</p>
<p>thanks silverturtle</p>
<p>@frosty: me too, I just have essays and resumes to upload and some supplements to complete.</p>
<p>I feel like this application is way too easy, lol. I just need to fill out the activities part and attach my essay and then start working on supplements! How did you guys do you resumes? Did you just write down more activities or actually put a description of them?</p>
