<p>If so, how would you write the score.</p>
<p>Write all ur scores or maybe the test-dates u r gonna take ur seciond try … the scores finally do get officially sent from Collegeboard.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, the application does not superscore. Some colleges do, but only once they get your scores. And some colleges, including those that take the Common App do not.</p>
<p>Write each test individually, with each section’s score. Let the colleges do what they will with that information.</p>
<p>Ok so this summer I did the LEAD program in business at Duke University. If I wanted to write about that on my app would it go under the “activities section” as an extracurricular or at the end in “additional information”?</p>
<p>Where do I indicate first-generation student on the common app?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Where it asks for the highest grade your parents attained. That’ll make it obvious.</p>
<p>add. info.</p>
<p>If I took three ACT’s and did HORRIBLE on one of them. Can I just slip by with reporting the two good ones, or do i have to report all three?</p>
<p>For the EC section, how long is too long for the positions held/awards won section and for the explain section?</p>
<p>joelyam2- Isn’t that the “advantage” of the ACTs?</p>
<p>ssnalp- You can fill the online form with as many characters as it will let you</p>
<p>Okay, that really limits what I can write. How much abbreviation is allowed? And is it necessary to list what specific years a position was held, an award was won, or a specific part of the activity was completed?</p>
<p>For the additional recommendation (in addition to the required 2), do you just ask the person to write it for you? Are there any restrictions? Where on common app do they provide for this?</p>
<p>Okay, has anybody else been stupid enough to do this?
I marked in a little bubble thingy on the common app supplement that I am not a US citizen and I don’t have a visa. It is asking if I have a visa pending. So if I put yes, I’m saying I’m not a citizen and if I put no, I’m illegal. Problem is, I was born in the US and I’m completely a citizen. I didn’t read carefully enough and I thought it was asking me if I was a citizen!</p>
<p>Has anybody else accidently marked an optional bubble before, and if so, how do you fix it? I’m freaking out because common app won’t let me start the supplement over again and it saves my old anwers. Help! It says there should be a “clear all” option but I can’t find it.</p>
<p>In the elaborate on an activity, experience, or work experience, can this be in list/resume-esque form or should it be in more essay-like.</p>
<p>In other words, am I supposed to just give more details or show how it impacted me and specifically what I contributed?</p>
<p>Should your EC’s mostly be in order of greatest hours, or, for me, would “Youth Leadership (insert city)” be more valuable than youth group or a sport (maybe because it is less common/shows leadership)?</p>
<p>I did both (in paragraph form). You might as well do the same.</p>
<p>Put them in the order from most important to you to least important.</p>
<p>What did you guys write for that part?</p>
<p>Are you filling it out on paper? The online version has a dropdown box where you indicate your citizenship.</p>
<p>If you’re using paper, finish filling this one out. Then get a fresh one and use the first one as a guide so that you don’t make mistakes.</p>
<p>^^^Its for a supplement</p>
