the College Application Process Series, or CAPS, is a series that helps students throughout the entire college application process, from asking teachers for rec letters, to writing the first draft of your common app essay, to building your activities section, to submitting! i started this because i know how much it would have helped me to have something like this when i was going through the application process, and i didn't find any step-by-step process videos out there. so, i decided to start one myself! :)
thanks for watching!! comment below if you have any questions or want to request any videos :))
if you see this, comment "college apps suck but this video doesn't!" hehehe

    What if there are some AP scores that I don’t want to submit? Do I still put that I took the test on whatever date but just not put my score or do I not include that AP exam at all?

    You can just leave them off the common app! I didn’t want to report my AP Seminar score, so I just didn’t include it in the list altogether. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    Okay so when listing activities i’m confused on how you would list them, for example.. I play alto saxophone and am in multiple ensembles with it and have different chairs/leadership positions per ensemble i’m in. Then I also play oboe and i’m in a couple ensembles with it and have different positions/chairs in each one. Also besides that i’m also doing a summer band camp and would that be listed separately? I would appreciate if you could help me understand how I would list these thank you!

    Patrick Cannon Hi Patrick! I was in a similar position when listing volleyball as an activity. I put it as one category and did something like this: “Co-Captain, School Varsity Volleyball; National Club Teams” and in the description, I did bullet points and left a space in the middle to indicated that the first couple bullet points were for school volleyball and the last couple were for national club volleyball. Hope this helps, but if you are still confused please email me (goldcollegeessays@gmail.com) so I can help you better! :)

    Patrick Cannon Forgot to mention, I did a couple different summer camps as well, but didn’t mention all of them. If it is extremely significant, then feel free to put it separately if there is something extra it adds to your application that is different from your other band activities. Other than that, you could put it in the same box as a bullet point!

    When you fill in the courses and grades section, do you have to fill in for all 4 years of high school or can you pick the ones you did better in? Also for the GPA part, do you have to put the average of all 4 years or only the last year? and is there a reliable source to convert scores from international schools to w/uwGPA n CGPA? I looked it up but the results are all different lol

    Hey Jillian, thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful! Does the common app submit your application to each school individually when you request it to? All schools have different deadlines for applying, and I am taking the SAT in October, November and December, but one schools deadline is in November. No one seems to know how this works...do you? Thanks so much!

    Glad you find them helpful! You submit each application individually, and when you fill out your info for the application, it will tell you the due date. Most school’s regular decision are due around New Years, and early action/decision is due Nov 1st. Hope this helps!

    Ok so you can keep taking the SAT all the way until the closing date of the last school you apply to? The schools you apply to who have closing dates in November would use your score then, but you could take it again in December for the other schools who have due dates in January?

    Hey Jillian, thanks again for the great videos. Do you know how Common App submits to each college? Can you change your essay/activities a little bit for each one? A few schools I want to focus on my sports and others more on academics. So if I taylor my activities towards sports and submit to one college, can I go back in and change it around, then submit it to others? Or if you change anything. will they send updates to the schools you sent to in the past? No one seems to know the answer to this question so I am hoping you do! Thanks again.
