Filling Out Applications, Round Two

Filling out applications is really fun, isn't it?!! Today you asked:

Do I have to/Should I report all of my SAT/ACT/AP scores on my applications? If you are filling out the Common App, the answer for most of you will be "no." Many of you are at least considering the possibility of applying to an test optional school or using the score choice option to only send your best or best combo of your SAT or ACT. And you are still waiting for your new scores! So it's fine to leave some or all of the test information section blank. But! There are a handful of colleges out there that require applicants to submit ALL of your SAT/ACT/Subject test scores. So please be sure you are reading all of the instructions regarding test requirements for the schools to which you are applying.

Did you get the email from UMD asking for my recommendation? Yes, I did. But that email only pertains to schools that do not send their documents and recommendations electronically. Even though you there a lot of forms coming your way that say Give This To Your Teacher/Counselor, you really do not need to do so. We are very fancy here and do it all online!

What about this ED agreement form? Okay, you got us. That's the one form you do actually need to print out from the Common Application (or the school's own website if they are not a Common Application school) and bring to us to sign. You are then responsible for mailing it the old fashioned way. Apparently this form is going to be available for online submission sometime soon but we haven't been able to access it yet, so let's follow this protocal for now.
