<p>^^^ Haha that’s what I was thinking. Thanks.</p>
<p>Let’s say I apply EA to a school and on the application I reported that I scored a 2100 on my SAT I. But now I retake the SATs again before RD and score a 2200 can I now add this information to my common application for Regular Decision colleges?

<p>Simple answer – sure u can!! And don’t forget to send your scores to the EA college too via Collegeboard! Also, your personal reports don’t really matter coz Collegeboard will tell all your colleges!!</p>
<p>adrivit, are you sure? Because it’s possible that once you submit an EA application (assuming it’s the CommonApp), you cannot change it. So once you put down the score on the application, you cannot change it.</p>
<p>Yeah, my fear is that if I apply to an EA school report one score then get a higher score there will be no way for me to indicate to colleges for Regular Decision that I’ve recieved a higher score and I will use the common application.</p>
<p>I think so. You can always retake the SAT if within the dates for EA, and send the scores to college. Simpleperson - do ask the concerned college about this. </p>
<p>And I think he asked if he can upgrade the scores for the RD colleges. Anyways, ask the concerned EA college. You cannot change anything for the EA app or any app once its gone. You can simply add info, like medals you might have own or upgraded scores(done via Collegeboard). The only thing about SAT scores is that the test must be taken before a certain date to be considered. </p>
<p>Oh gosh, I am repeating things!!! Sorry!!</p>
<p>So if I send my scores before the deadline through College Board that will be used instead of the scores I reported on my application, right?</p>
<p>Ya!! But i strongly recommend asking the Colleges this again!</p>
<p>simpleperson:
Yes. I was in the same situation last year. All you have to do is submit official score reports containing your updated scores to each of your RD colleges. The scores on your official score report will always override your self-reported scores on your common app.</p>
<p>for the academic awards section, does “regional” in the state/regional checkbox mean within a region of the state or a region of the nation (like the Southeast, West, etc)?</p>
<p>also, what would be stretching the definition of an “academic” honor? I want to include a writing award I received from a summer journalism workshop, but is it too nonacademic?</p>
<p>When will the transfer application be available on common app?</p>
<p>mc1600: If you consider it academic, you can put it there. Colleges aren’t going to be like, “That’s not academic enough! Reject!”</p>
<p>weltschmerz89: We don’t know. Wait.</p>
<p>I have a few questions. </p>
<p>1) On the online Common Application, on the section where one is supposed to list his/her courses, Common App also asks for the credit value of these courses. What is the proper way for one to go about doing this? My preliminary thought would be to list it as such:</p>
<p>AP Calculus - 10 credits
AP English - 5 Credits</p>
<p>(Etc.) </p>
<p>but this looks a bit odd. Any suggestions? </p>
<p>2) Secondly, a while back, NHS (National Honors Society) was deemed an extracurricular activity. If such is true, then do other honors societies (Such as a Latin Honors society at my school - based on academics solely) count as Honors or Extracurricular Activities on the Common App?</p>
<p>Thank you very much in advance for your help.</p>
<p>zmoose, </p>
<p>1.) Does your high school give credits for courses taken? For example, at my high school every course you took gave you 0.5 credits per semester. </p>
<p>2.) Each school’s Honor Society is different. At my high school, NHS was definitely more of an extracurricular thing than an award/recognition, so at my school people put it as EC. It kind of depends. What does Latin Honors Society do? Is it just a recognition that you’re in it, or do you plan projects or community service or whatever. Then decide for yourself which is more appropriate.</p>
<p>I have way more than 7 activities. Should I submit an extra resume that explains all of them better?</p>
<p>I suggest that you choose the 7 most important activities.</p>
<p>Also, it says I need to submit my AP scores for the tests I am taking next year. But the thing tells me to put the tests I will be taking next year.</p>
<p>What?
List the AP exams that you’ll take next year. Self-report (or, if required, send) the AP scores for the tests you have taken so far.</p>
<p>I know that, but I went to print preview my app, but it tells me it is incomplete because I didn’t fill in AP score 4,5,6, and 7, those of which I will taking next year.</p>
<p>
That is a really good question! Usually when I hear the term “regionals” it means within the state… like a few counties or school districts tied together. But really, what woud people put for region of the nation? It’s not state. It’s not national.</p>
<p>I would just check off state, and then in the Additional Information Section, state that it was, for example, a “Southwest” competition.</p>
