We promise families who buy our Common App guide that we’ll pick up where the Common App’s own advice leaves off.  But the fact that the Common App does such a good job of answering a lot of applicants’ questions lets us make our own guide that much better.

If you have any questions while you’re filling out your Common App, visit their Application Support Center.   They do a great job of answering good questions that come up all the time like:

I need to know the difference between college credit courses and enrichment programs

I can't enter all my activities information in the box given

I want to note my specific major, career plan, or academic interest in the Common Application but it's not in the list

It’s refreshing to see an application service who obviously listens to the questions their customers ask, and then does their best to answer them in a helpful way.
