<p>Question - for Work Experience, what do you put down for employer? The company’s name (like Barnes and Noble) or the name of your boss?</p>
<p>It’s confusing me because they use the term “employer” ugh</p>
<p>I worked a privately owned restaraunt so would it make sense to put my boss’s name (the owner) or the name of the restaraunt? Also at a mall cart… mall cart owner’s name or the name of the cart? eek</p>
<p>Your employer is the business name of the entity that employed you, not the name of the individual or your boss.</p>
<p>cafesimone: “Barnes and Noble” is fine. When I put down my job, I put down the name of the organization as the employer.</p>
<p>Hey-
I’ve begun to work on my common app, and under the offices/accomplishments/etc., I can condense everything to fit under the character limit of the common apps online form. However, when I do a “Quick Print” the font size is quite large and very little of my submitted information is displayed. It kind of just runs off the page so to say. Do you know if colleges receiving this application online will be able to see all of the info allowed online or just what I see under “Quick Print?”</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Are things like NHS and National French Honor society considered school or national recognition. They’re called national, but they’re decided on a school level, so I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Is NHS an extracurricular or an academic honor? Admittance is based on GPA, but you are required to volunteer and such…</p>
<p>Extracurricular.</p>

<p>^^ This is a really good question. Anyone have any thoughts?</p>
<p>I don’t know. It didn’t happen to me last year. I don’t know what’s going on.</p>
<p>1) Say that I only worked for the month of June. The Common App says to put approximate dates (mm/yyyy - mm/yyyy). Do I put 6/2008 - 7/2008? Or 6/2008 - 6/2008?</p>
<p>2) What on earth do you put for [Guidance] Counselor’s Position?? Obviously aren’t they a guidance counselor??</p>
<p>Also, do you only put Dr. if your parent was a medical doctor?</p>
<p>1.) Oh my goodness. People here have questions about every itty-bitty thing. Just pick one.
2.) You just put guidance counselor or academic counselor.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, you put Dr. if your parent has a doctorate of any sort.</p>
<p>The app asks you to list any college courses you’ve taken for credit –
<p>As for college courses you’ve taken for credit, what if the site doesn’t LIST your college? Cause I took them at a community college that doesn’t appear in their CEEB code list, when you search for it. Do those courses not count or do you just enter the information and not worry about the CEEB code?</p>
<p>Aeneas, my dad is a pastor and recieved a Doctor of Ministry. Does that count?</p>
<p>tberbert: What’s wrong with just listing all of them?</p>
<p>Nothing, but why pay an extra $15 for a transcript when you don’t have to?</p>
<p>anyone know when the supplements will be up?</p>
<p>So I won about 5 awards one single year in the intel science fair for various things all related to engineering. So here’s the deal-io! I want to enter intel as an ec for my common app so I put it down as science and math and entered the total hours spent on the project. Problem is where you enter honors and awards they don’t all fit into the box! What is the best way to enter all 5 awards, because I certainly wouldn’t want to leave any out!</p>
