Common Application Queries...

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I've begun to fill out the Common App and I have a few questions to ask about certain sections of the form. Thank you for your time:</p>

<p>1) Page 1: In the "Future Plans" section, what do you fill out in the "college" and "deadline" spaces? Is it the college you're sending the form too and it's application deadline?</p>

<p>2) What does it mean "do you intend to enroll in a degree progam your first year?" Do I misunderstand the question or don't you, by default, enroll in a degree program when you go to uni?</p>

<p>3) Page 3: Where is says "list all other secondary schools as well as summer and other programs, etc..." does this include summer work exp. and placement experiences? Because there are only 3 lines...?</p>

<p>4) Page 4: What does "letters earned" mean? </p>

<p>Also, some quick questions for anyone who is also applying to Harvard and/or Princeton:</p>

<p>Harvard supplement pg. 1: If I'm interested in working in finance/investment banking, should I select "business" as the vocation I'm interested in, or other?</p>

<p>pg.4: I'm unsure of how to fill in the grey box for international applicants. What does the 2nd question mean/imply? </p>

<p>Princeton page 3: In "A Few Details," do you think elaboration is necessary? Also does "recording" mean "song?" </p>

<p>Thank you very much for all of your help!</p>
