<p>Hi, how are you guys all. I just have some question. Please give me some advice.
I have never been busy in my life like I am recently. I am going to apply about
3 to 4 schools by Common Application, and they all require me to write two to three application essays. The essay prompts are not going to be easy as it always have been.
So I am guessing it will probably take me about two to three months to get them done. Also,
I am applying to University of California, and the applications are due end of November. Before I finish writing my essays, I need to have some clue how long it takes to put all of the information on Common Application except for essays.
And actually, I really don't know anything about Common App. So if you guys have any advice for me, please help me know about applying process. !!
Thanks all, even if you read once and just leave nothing...</p>
<p>I’m also new to common application… I think it may take you about 3 days to finish the application, though given this is the weekend it may take around 5.</p>
<p>Depends. Plugging in your name, address, etc should be easy and quick. The part about your parents will be easy as long as you do it with your parents. The test scores are self-reported, so that’s easy. You’re going to need info about your college counselor at school, so you may need to contact him/her. Also, you have to do the activities chart, and the work chart, which take a bit of time.</p>
<p>I mean, I’ve been able to do nearly all the non-essay stuff in the past 3 days easily, for what it’s worth. The activities part took me the longest.</p>
<p>It took me several days when I first filled it out.</p>
<p>I finished everything but the essay in 1 day. Spent a good month or so on the essays working through them, editing them and having others edit them. Its all about personal speed and typing.</p>
