OFFICIAL Common Application Questions Thread

<p>Oh well I am unsure of the format and the depth of detail we should put on our resumes.</p>

<p>If you're elaborating on EC's the format should be the same as how it is on the Common app, with maybe 1-3 sentences describing it if necessary...</p>

<p>yeah, i think thats a fair question. i am not sure either.</p>

<p>There is a limit of 7 activites that you can list on the commonapp correect?</p>

<p>Hmm, I am rethinking about including a resume on teh app.</p>

<p>do many colleges discourage it?</p>

<p>do alot of people do it?</p>

<p>when we self-report test scores, do we list all of our SAT II scores, or just our best 2?</p>

<p>same with SAT I. my best scores all came from one sitting...do I just write down that sitting or do i write down my scores from the first time i took it?</p>

<p>i think its better to list all the scores from the first time you took them.</p>

<p>I wrote a whole essay for the additional one on the common app. I got in ED at my first choice.</p>

<p>Anyone having trouble with the web site? Is it down, by any chance?</p>

<p>it's not working for me either!!! maybe it's too busy!! i don't know...</p>

<p>same here... verry slow. AAAAAAHHH WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!</p>

<p>Will the college void your app if you use blue ink instead of black? I sent my app for Middlebury in 3 days ago, and just realized that I used blue ink on the entire app instead of black, and I used blue ink on the athletic supplement too. Should I just refill the app out and resend it tomorrow instead? It'd be cutting it super close, but I still have time at least.</p>

<p>People at Middlebury must be colorblind and can also see black and white so you must rewrite it! </p>

<p>Blue is fine. They might think you don't read instructions (this is serious) but doubt it will affect you in any way and just call them and tell them if it really concerns you.</p>

<p>Wait, a planned crash, or just the overload of students logging in and throwing the servers off? (the tubes being clogged, if you will)</p>

<p>Because currently, I'm at about an hour, hour and a half of trying to just open my applications, and I have never seen it this sticky...</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Go net neutrality.</p>

<p>Please No Lag. Please Common App. Don't Do This To Us</p>

<p>the site seems to be going much slower than usual right now, so...</p>

<p>tmk39- agreed. i barely logged in. this is worrying me SO MUCH.</p>

<p>It's incredibly slow!!!</p>

<p>the title of this thread made me laugh out loud ...</p>
