When can I start filling out my application?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I want to get college applications over with this summer. When can I start, and what should I do to start? Also, do any colleges that use other apps than the common app have them out yet?</p>

<p>Hasn’t everyone been saying August 1? Most colleges probably don’t have their apps out until then at least. You can get a kind of head start by looking for copies of past applications and filling them in so that you’ll kind of have something you can copy off already. Since the essays are the same every year (everyone’s assuming that, at least), you can do those too.</p>

<p>The 2011-12 Common App Online will launch August 1. The essays are not changing. Yo can find a preview version of the printed application on the Common App website: </p>
