<p>Alright, I am applying for colleges for Fall 2010. I will be a senior coming this September when school will reopen. However, I was not sure that the summer between the end of my junior year and the start of the senior is considered summer of junior year or summer of senior year?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Junior year. :)</p>
<p>are you sure? So, summer counts for the school year preceding it and not for the year after it? </p>
<p>And hence on commonapp, I cannot put summer of 12th for one of the activities I am doing right now. And there would be not a single student who can put summer of 12th on their application?</p>
<p>Don’t the apps generally ask for “the last two summers” as opposed to summer of a particular year?</p>
<p>Also, you could always say “summer between 11th and 12th” if you need to mention a particular summer.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure summer counts for the school year preceding it, but I could be wrong - you should probably wait for someone else to come along and specify, just in case. :)</p>
<p>But mostly when I hear/read of people talking about summer, they either talk about the summer before or after a school year. I can’t say I’ve heard them saying summer * of * a particular year much.</p>
<p>On the commonapp, there is nothing to say “summer between 11th and 12th” when you list down your 7 activities.
It just has 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th for the year and then you can designate whether the activity was done in summer or school year.</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>anyone …bump</p>
<p>I also want to know what it means to be a ‘rising sophomore’ or ‘rising junior’. In the example ‘rising sophomore’, does that mean you were just a soph or that you will be a soph?</p>
<p>^It means that you’ll be a sophmore, junior the next year. Like I’m a rising senior, so I’ll be a senior this fall.</p>
<p>Your question was answered, no need to bump. I graduated high school in 2009 (I was a senior in the 2008-2009 school year), and therefore this is the summer of my senior year.</p>
