College Readiness

Common App is a non-profit membership organization representing more than 1,100 diverse institutions of higher education. They connect applicants, and those who support them, to a wide array of public and private colleges and universities across all 50 U.S. states and 18 countries.

If you are applying to multiple colleges, you might strongly consider doing so via Common App. Trust us: it will save you, your School Counselor, and your teachers quite a bit of time, and who doesn't want that?!

If you get stuck and need some assistance, visit Common App's Help Center, a great resource should you have questions.

Also, below is a video to help walk you through completing your Common App.

For Common App and certain private school applications, a school report form (or school profile) is required.

The school report includes information about classes, GPA, and transcript (School Counselors upload this directly to Common App, so this isn't something the student needs to do).

NOTE: Public colleges do not require school report forms or counselor letters of recommendation. The information below is for students applying to private colleges through the Common Application or on the college's own online application.

Requesting A Counselor Letter of Recommendation
Some Common App and private schools ask for a Counselor Letter of Recommendation (LOR) while others don't. You will be responsible to know which of the colleges you are applying to require a Counselor LOR, and if so, you may need to make an appointment with your counselor at least one month prior to the first application deadline. 

Letters take a lot of time and effort to write, so Counselors ask that requests only be made if the colleges you are applying to require a LOR. All LOR requests must be submitted three weeks prior to the first application deadline.

Please click on your counselor's link to fill out their specific Letter of Recommendation Form.  

Remember the more you write, the more we can write!! 

Not all four-year colleges/universities in the State of Washington will require SAT or ACT scores. If you are looking at colleges outside the Pacific Northwest, tests may be suggested or required.

Please consult the college websites you're interested in applying to in order to see if a SAT or ACT score is needed and/or required. For a list of out of state colleges/universities that are test optional, please visit fairtest.org.
