UPDATE on July 29: Because the Common App is down for their annual updates between July 28-31, the final session of the Boot Camp has been moved to August 10 at 1 pm EDT.
This four-session intensive (beginning Monday, July 20) is for rising Grade 12 students, or anyone applying this fall to attend university in fall 2021. We will be going in-depth into the requirements of the Common Application and how to fill out some of the more challenging sections like the Activities list, Honors and Achievements, and, of course, the essay.
To prepare, create an account at CommonApp.org, so that you can begin exploring the website a bit on your own.
We will also reflect on some of the other applications for US universities, like the Coalition application and the University of California application.
Make sure to sign-up for every session! If you miss a session you are registered for, you will still receive the recording afterward.
