In today’s video, I’m going to talk about a specific section of the common app - the common app activities section.

Applying to college can be daunting. However, there is a process that makes it significantly easier: the Common Application for college. It’s used by thousands of students, allowing them to complete one set of forms and submit it to some of the hundreds of schools that accept it.

But, if your student hasn’t used the Common Application before, it can also be pretty intimidating.
By taking time to learn about what it is, how it works, and what it takes to complete the Common App, your student can be better prepared, making the process much less scary. So today, you’ll learn what the common app is and how to fill out common app activities list section the best way possible.
