I went to the <a href=“http://www.commonapp.org%5B/url%5D”>www.commonapp.org</a> and it says check back July 1st. I assumed that the commonapp for 2005-2006 applicants would be available on that date. However, I recently went to the Harvard website and found that they have the 2005-2006 commonapp posted on their website already. How is it that Harvard has the newest commonapp, and commonapp.org doesn’t?
<p>yea, I was looking for it too. I don't know. Harvard is just special like that maybe.</p>
<p>It looks like Harvard has made the paper version available, but you won't be able to enter onto the online version until July 1.</p>
<p>I have several paper copies that various schools have mailed to me, not just Harvard, but we're still waiting for July 1 for the online version.</p>
<p>Why do they make it so late? Do they do this every year? Because I definently need to start early next summer. I mean, it can't be too hard to change an essay question or two..everything else should probably stay the same.</p>
<p>It's the same time every year. Since the paper version is out, I imagine the Common App people are getting the website ready. While the essays didn't change, they do have to adjust the SAT reporting info for the New SAT.</p>
<p>argh... They should have it out sooner.
This might be a little off topic, but is it true that when schools use the commonapp and their own app, it's better to use the schools'?
(which doesn't apply to harvard, so i guess it's insignificant;) lol)</p>
<p>My unsolicited paper Harvard app showed up in the mail about a week ago. Which was bizarre because...earth to Harvard...YOU'D NEVER ACCEPT ME! But yeah... the common app was on it (obviously)</p>
<p>It looks like Harvard sends an app to anyone who shows any remote form of interest, because Harvard is rich like that.</p>
<p>I think the general consensus is right. The common app is available, specifically through Harvard, on paper, but the online version won't be until July 1st.</p>
<p>Yale's just arrived, with the Common App also.</p>
<p>Yes...Yale's arrived too...not that I was planning on applying there, but cool anyway.
I'm waiting for UChicago's application to come out...I'm so excited about writing their essays...(yes, I am a sad and pathetic person, I know)</p>
<p>read the fine print on your college mailers....we received one this week (forgot which college), and the common app on it stated: for 2005/2006 cycle.</p>
