   • Driver’s license

   • Social security number (not the actual card)

   • Think about what major you will choose  

4. Start on the college website or the Common App (participating colleges)

5. Start each application as a freshman or first-year applicant
   (do not fill out Transfer).

6. List of colleges that are not charging an application fee 

   • Code usually entered near the end of the application.

   • Free or reduced lunch students also might be able to get college app fees waived. Ask your counselor!
