COMMON APP + PARCHMENT
Counselors will be uploading your Amador Valley High School transcript to your Common App. Do not send your transcript to Common App.
If you took an outside of PUSD course, you'll need to send that transcript to each school you are applying to through Parchment (and not to Common App!)
Outside course transcripts are considered official if they are received directly from the outside institution via Parchment.
You'll have to do this even if the course is added to your Amador Valley High School transcript.
For example, if you had taken two outside courses from two different outside institutions and are applying to 10 Common App schools, you'll need to send each transcript to each school which means thats 20 Parchment orders!
Sending your transcript to Common App will bump out your already uploaded Amador Valley High School transcript.
ESSAYS ON THE COMMON APP
ESSAYS ON THE COMMON APP
Sometimes writings essays can feel like the biggest part of your application. With a little bit of planning, organizing, and drafting, we can help you make this task more manageable. As you work on your applications you can find essays or short answer questions in three sections:
Common App Personal Essay
Colleges can either make the personal essay optional or required. In the writing section of your Common App tab, you will see a table that lists each college's requirements.
College-specific questions
Many colleges include short answer questions or essay prompts within this section. You can find specific information about each college's individual writing prompts here.
Writing supplements
Some colleges use a separate writing supplement. Not all colleges have a writing supplement. Some colleges only request this supplement based on how you answer other questions. You can find more information about writing supplements on the Dashboard or your My Colleges tab.
