<p>yeah, you can start today.</p>
<p>This is the first year that Chicago is using the Common App. They may not have all the details worked out yet.</p>
<p>Hey I second Morganrichman’s question about the EC essay:
Does it have to be creative like an admissions or is it just formal to say what you have done?</p>
<p>dumb question but is the 2008-2009 common app out yet? the forms on the website are last year’s</p>
<p>morganrichman and Gabs91, it can be done any way you want.</p>
<p>And to everyone else, I honestly don’t know why there are so many problems with the common app. I"m sure it’ll all work out in a few weeks, even though I know many of you don’t want to wait that long!</p>
<p>Yes they’re out. That’s what everyone’s asking about. Go to commonapp.org and register. You should be able to find the new ones.</p>
<p>None of the schools I’m applying to use the common app. 
:(</p>
<p>As of a few minutes ago, the separate posting of the Homeschool Supplement was still the old form. It looks like they still have some uploading to do today.</p>
<p>alright thank you for answering my other question.</p>
<p>however, im confused about summer programs…common app wants me to upload a CEEB code, but the summer program wasn’t like a college. it was a special recognition camp for leadership and business. Should i put this under additional information then?</p>
<p>I can not figure out how to print off the common app blank to review, D asked me to fill in the required things other then essays. Any advice on this? And many say no supplement when there are supplements!</p>
<p>Since the select activity field is just a generic drop-down menu, where are we supposed to say what exactly the activity is? Do we type the name in “If relevant, describe details”? </p>
<p>Also, if I do community service at various places as a part of service clubs at school, should I put down the places themselves or should I write down the service clubs?</p>
<p>^ When I look for my supplements, it says, “No Supplement or Offline”. So I’m thinkin maybe they just haven’t uploaded them yet?</p>
<p>Yea… the supplements don’t seem to be working.. the one for WashU wouldn’t let me scroll down hahaha</p>
<p>on the family portion-i put down that my dad was deceased but should I still fill in his name and college. or should i leave it blank? </p>
<p>what is up with the supplements? it says there are none for my colleges… maybe they’re not uploaded yet?</p>
<p>what do i fill in for dates attended and degree received for a sibling who is currently in college?</p>
<p>I would put the expected graduation date and the expected degree.</p>
<p>What do we do if we do one activity year round but for more hours in the summer? Or for something like drama which is a huge commitment during tech week, etc. but not at all at other times?</p>
<p>How do we fill out the hours/week?</p>
<p>is anyone having trouble adding wellesley??</p>
<p>Average hours/week and weeks/year</p>
<p>Thanks, dchow, but what if it’s a really significant difference? Like 20+ hours/week during the summer but only 4 or 5 during the school year. An average wouldn’t give very accurate information…</p>
