<p>Moonlight921 - In regards to the first question, putting just the award and year is fine, just don't forget to elaborate in the Additional Info section (putting it in your r</p>
<p>A quick question regarding the common app: when you submit the common app to a school does it submit the supplement too, or do you have to submit that separately, because I am ready to submit my application to a school, but not its supplement</p>
<p>^ depends, read on ur school page if you need to send it all together before they look at it or seperate..try finding something about "all in 1 institution's"</p>
<p>To G00gle. </p>
<p>Under the Educational Data section there appears the following: "List all secondary schools, including summer schools as well as summer and other programs, you have attended, beginning with 9th grade."</p>
<p>Also, can someone reply to Sunshine_breeze's post #829 which asks this question: "Now when they say programs, does that include things like Governor's School, RSI, TASP type things?"</p>
<p>^^ I'm doing multivariable calculus at the community college, so do I include the college in that Educational data section AND mention the course in 'Other Coursework (Not A-G)'?</p>
<p>Is the first page of the teacher evaluation form supposed to have a big blank space at the end?</p>
<p>On early applications my son listed his upcoming SAT II - a retake of the Physics exam. He did not score any better, in fact, dropped 40 points. If one has listed future SATs on an early decision or action application will the admissions office be expecting those results and consider the application incomplete Or, if you don't want to send them should you alert the admissions office or just not sent them? Thoughts? He was very sick on the day of the test - had a fever but wanted to go anyway - bad decision - is that worth explaining or does it sound like sour grapes?</p>
<p>I think that they'd consider his application complete with the scores from the first sitting. In the unlikely event that they ask, you could explain the circumstances then; making an issue out of it now can't help.</p>
<p>Thank you for all your responses!</p>
<p>I shortened my resume (thank God for 11pt. font), but concerning the award descriptions, I was a little wary. Do I need to Describe 'Biology Medal' or 'Rensselaer Medal'? or are those self explanatory? I've also Won some college cook awards (the ones that are sponsored by the local alumni in the area.. Middlebury, Smith College, Holy Cross Book awards etc.) Do those need to be described? </p>
<p>Finally, On the paper common app, it says that you should report AP scores in the academic honors section. I did so on the online version, but should I do so in my resume as well?</p>
<p>I really appreciate all the help.</p>

<p>OK, I know this is stupid but what do you include in the "Additional Information" section? I have been working since I dropped out of college 3 years ago, should I add elaborate on jobs I have done etc? Also, how long does the personal statement essay have to be?</p>
<p>Thank you for your time!</p>
<p>Is the first page of the teacher evaluation form supposed to have a big blank space at the end?</p>
<p>Is it a problem if our "additional Information page" comes out to 3pages in Microsoft Word? this is because i have a lot of EC's that i need to list that will not fit elsewhere.</p>
<p>also is it good to list proficiencies in additional info??</p>
<p>@ flaming spirits.</p>
<p>3 pages seems a tad long just for extra cirriculars. Might I suggest you limit yourself to only the ones that best represent who you are? Cut it down to the ones you have been MOST dedicated to and spent the most hours with. You don't want to appear to be a serial joiner, or a resume beefer-upper.</p>
<p>Has anyone determined the best way to tackle the problem regarding different Common App Student ID #'s on the Teacher Recs and SSRs?</p>
<p>When you create a new version, the number changes. It follows that the forms need to be re-filled out. But... I don't want to bother my teachers so many times for each version I make.</p>
<p>However, the recommendations and the SSR have names and addresses on them, so it should be fine. But does anyone have advice about this situation?</p>
<p>I can't be the only person with this issue.</p>
<p>Ive cut down to 2 pages, but they are all actives i have done from a class, and i need to list all of them ..but i did list the most effective ones.</p>
<p>And can we send in a money order with our applications?? instead of sending it seperately</p>
<p>blddrake44: As long as your name and SS# are printed, you'll be fine. (Source: Another thread with the same question.)</p>
<p>In regards to the short answer portion,</p>
<p>Is it ok to have more than 150 words?
The space provides 3500 character space, will colleges mind if an applicant fills the entire space?</p>
<p>You can go over 150, just don't get out of hand.</p>
<p>I have one short answer that is 161 words long that barely fills 500 characters in the 3500 character box.</p>
<p>I also have an extended version that is 371 words long and fills 1500 characters in the box.</p>
<p>Is it ok to put the second one?</p>
<p>I wouldn't go over 200 though.</p>
