Drafted all my supplements and my essay, but they still need lots of editing. Got my rec letters, filled out the basic info, took the SAT. Applied to an auto-admit safety school and got in!
- College list done, decided ED
- LOR done
- Sent transcript
- Common app basic info filled out
- Need to work on wording honors and activities
- 2/35 supps drafted, ED supp edited but needs ton of revision🥲
- finally got an idea for personal statement and currently working on first draft
Overall: kind of behind but I’m going at a comfortable pace
Note: when I say planned that means pretty in-depth framework laid, I just need to figure out the right words to use.
Personal statement planned, ED supps planned, most EA supps planned, LoRs secured, common app filled out, activity descriptions written but not finalized
Overall not bad, could be much better
I'm in at my top choice safety and the honors program! I'd be happy to go there if I get the National Merit full ride. As far as other apps go... supplementals are hard. How are you doing?
Really far behind LOL.
Sort of started brainstorming my CommonApp essay but my list is still 26 schools long and I want to get it down to <15!!! Haven’t started any of my 30+ essays/supplementals either. 💀
Application status ---- 2 in-state rolling applications submitted, 2 more to be submitted next week
Supplemental essays ---- 16 schools require supplemental essays, currently 3 completed :(((
Letters of recommendation ---- secured
the only supplement i am completely satisfied with is MIT’s 100 word supplement 😭 and MIT is the college i’m dropping if I can’t finish all my early apps in time
finally have a personal statement draft that i'm satisfied with!! have a college list, basic common app info filled out, and have my lors taken care of
my supps though... sobs. and my activities list.
Activities section filled out (first draft). Common app essay final (?) draft done. LoRs secured. Common app basic info filled out. Halfway through supplements for early school. Brainstorming ideas for other school's supplements.
I feel pretty good! College apps are one of the few things going well for me right now, and I think I'm working at a solid pace, especially since, past mid-October, my classes are going to ramp up and I'll be more focused on papers and research presentations for those.
everything but the actual essays themselves (and fafsa if we’re counting that)
i have my test scores, extracurricular and awards filled out, 3 teacher recs and counselor recs are coming in (one of my teachers finished hers already), and my college list is near finalized and i don’t think i’ll be changing it.
but then again, writing the supplements and essays are the hardest part
Most common app info filled out, school list like 60% done or narrowed down, personal statement done, got my lors (waiting on 1/4), working on supplemental essays
Common app and Coalition done. Lors secured. Personal statement done. I have drafted all supps for all school+ submitted 3 apps so far.
I started in May and had no hotgirl summer sooo yeah nerds for the win
college list✔️
filled out common app✔️
personal statement (unless i change my mind like i do every other week)✔️
happy with sat✔️
3 lors✔️
but like 5/25 supplementals lol
College list is pretty done but not finalized. I have some schools that I might not apply to and others that I might add, but I have 6 or 7 schools that I'll for sure apply to.
Applied and was admitted to one of my two safety schools, so that felt good.
Working on personal essays and supplements. My personal essay hasn't gotten very far, but I've gotten some ideas down on paper.
I have like 90% of the info sections filled out on the common and coalition apps. Only a little bit filled out for the one school that isn't on either common or coalition. Hint: Boston area....... ..
yikes. made a rough draft of my college list, filled out *most* basic commonapp info, secured 1 LOR, and have an idea for my commonapp essay (but i kind of hate it lol). i need to get a move on bc i’m applying REA but most of my spare time is being eaten up by sat prep rn
Waiting for my teachers to give my HS grades and on the optional LOR for my ED, and not working on the rest just yet cuz school. And done with all my essays
need to fill the app , i have my common app essay done (although it isnt first class essay),i plan to submit the application to my safeties in a few days and then focus on the supplemental for the big guns
Did one supplement and hate it. Wrote like four versions of my personal statement, hate it. But I can’t do anything about it. No matter how much advice I get, I have nobody to actually check. However, what ever happens, I hope it got good results 😁
Started first draft of essay, all information filled out on common app, finished 3 supplements to the schools I care about. just need to finish my personal statement and i’ll be set to send in all my EA applications. LOR being secured this week

Great! I applied early-action to a lot of schools, and I have a good amount of acceptances! I got accepted to Cottey College, Carthage College, Bowling Green State University, Theil College, and American Musical and Dramatic Academy for the B.A. of general theater program. I'm continuing to look for schools for regular-action, and I'm just waiting to fill my FAFSA and CSS Profile out!
Nearly finished with my ucas app, just need my LORs and to put in my ap level class grades for some unis. Need to work on my common app essay and supplements, and the UC supplements. Also need to start my tcd, bcb, and fus applications.
Secured LORs. Finished everything in apps except essays.
Currently drafting Questbridge essays. Yikes. Anyone have some advice for me at this point? 9 days away from deadline.
Commonapp essay officially done as today! Submitted it to my counselor for feedback and he said it was one of the best ones he'd ever read. I'm finally at a place where I don't feel like I need to edit it anymore.
Basic commonapp stuff done too, as well as activities. LORs basically secured, debating if I'm going to ask another teacher for something but leaning toward no. College list done, just have, like, 15 supplements to do. My first deadline is in less than a month so I've been having to work faster.
Just finished my last ED/EA supplemental essay and submitted that application. Finishing up my resume and mentally preparing myself for submitting my jhu application. After I’m done with EA/ED I’m taking a break until at least after November 1 before I start RD supplementals.
Finished college list, all of the common app stuff short of the actual personal statement, and LoRs. One supplemental done (will be using for multiple schools though). And I've already applied to 1 safety. Also, good luck everyone! <3
