Summer is a great time for rising seniors to begin the college application process and avoid the fall crunch as classes start. Begin by getting a login ID and password, and continue to prepare various sections when you have time. Your information will be saved when you again log on for another session. A good place to start is with The Common Application, where students can choose from 345 colleges and submit one common form. Start by downloading and printing the application form to get familiar with what needs to be completed, and set up your list of colleges so that you can track your progress.
