<p>When are you guys going to begin your college apps? Im thinking mid august...Im not applying ED to anywhere though.</p>
<p>I already wrote my short common app essay and I'm working on my long one.</p>
<p>I filled out basically everything that's been released except the essays. I plan on starting those once school starts and I'm done with my summer work.</p>
<p>I'm done except for the essays, which I'm finishing in August. I'm applying ED, so I'd like to do a nice thorough job on one app over the summer and then (hopefully) not have to worry about any more ...</p>
<p>August when the Columbia app comes out. I'm writing all my essays for that school and just copying and pasting them into the common app if I'm rejected or deferred ED (most likely rejected).</p>
<p>I'm almost done with my long Commonapp essay and done with my short essay, but I still have to write my essay for supplements and UChicago. I also have to send out my teacher recs to old teachers since I moved.</p>
<p>I filled out most of the basic information. The rest I have left blank so far, I'll probably do a whole bunch of volunteering at the end of the summer or something so I can add more to my application. They may notice, but I can't stand having so much blank on my application.</p>
<p>I've started some of the UC personal statement. I've been throwing around ideas with my college counselor, so hopefully those will be narrowed down soon enough.</p>
<p>Soon...then I'll say that again in 2 weeks from now.</p>
<p>I would recommend that everyone just look at them. You don't necessarily have to start filling them out, but just make sure you know the type of stuff on the app.</p>
<p>^ I agree, I wish I knew what they would ask like 2 years ago.</p>
<p>Next month is when I will start my actual application. So far I have completed one essay of the common app.</p>
<p>Whenever all the supplements come out... or I get majorly bored...</p>
<p>I'm going to begin my applications in the next few weeks, I guess. Not looking forward to it; I wish my GPA was higher, so I'd have to worry less about the actual app.</p>
<p>This weekend/next week when work and classes dwindle down a bit and I have more time to devote to studying and summer hwmk.</p>
<p>ive begun my UC personal statement. i need to condense my ideas and make it flow better, which i'll do when i get back to school and can bug my nazi english teacher for some help.</p>
<p>ive also looked over the application. but its pretty straightforward.</p>
<p>I have finished everything on the Common App except the essays which I will begin sometime this week or the next.</p>
<p>Waiting for the UC application to be open online in August.</p>
<p>I haven't done anything yet. glad I came to this thread.</p>
<p>I have started filing out information and working on essays</p>
<p>Finished my Commonapp and sent it already for ED for cornell. waiting on for supplement.. sent my application to UNLV also.. waiting for Purdue and Mich. St.'s applications now..</p>
