<p>So I made an account on commonapp.org, and I am currently a junior in HS. Can I start my application now? And is this all I need for the application part + the financial aid stuff? I'm applying for QB but I may still need common app if I don't get matched. Is this all I need?</p>
<p>From what I know, every single Common App account is deleted after the application season is over. So by the time you apply to college, your account will no longer exist. Anyway, essay topics and questions differ slightly year to year. So no, you cannot start your application. Just focus on your school work for now. Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, alright, but the site is right so that’s good 
I’m steps ahead XD</p>
<p>Look at website of schools where you plan to apply to see what they require in addition to the common app. Most require some combination of SAT, ACT and/or subject tests. You should think about taking those junior year. Also look at what recommendations are required. For the most part, you will be asking your junior year teachers for recommendations next fall, so developing those relationships this year is important.</p>
<p>Make and keep up a list of your extracurricular activities and awards since ninth grade, too. That makes it easy to do applications when the time comes to fill out applications.</p>
<p>Yea I got all those things ready, I’m just improving my grades and SAT most importantly.</p>
