Common Application

First off, sorry I haven't been able to post in a while-- I've been working very hard on my college applications lately.

Many private colleges are member colleges/universities of the Common Application-- Common App for short. It's a handy website that allows you to have one app and send it to many of these schools. For each school, the only thing you have to do differently is fill out each respective school's "Supplement," which varies from school to school.

Some schools you may be familiar with on the Common App include USC, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Northwestern, and many other schools.

Khan Academy

 I urge you all to check out this website. It's very helpful and has clear, instructional videos on many subjects (for example, physics, calculus, and biology). 


"A free world-class education for anyone anywhere. The Khan Academy is an organization on a mission. We're a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere. All of the site's resources are available to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler, principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. The Khan Academy's materials and resources are available to you completely free of charge."
