Tips of Filling Out College Application Forms

Before you fill out the actual application form, you might want to consider photocopying it first and practice filling out the photocopy. Remember to write legibly in the actual form and as much as possible, avoid erasures. Be very careful of spelling mistakes.

• Before writing anything on the forms, read all the directions and know what information are being asked for. Gather all information that you need before you begin filling out the form.
• When you’re ready, fill out all the basic information such as your name, date of birth, address, and other contact information.
• Fill out your academic information next. Write down the name of your school, its location, and contact information. Unless otherwise instructed, work in reverse chronological order.
• If they ask you to, also write down what your intended major is. If you still have not decided, write down what major you are most considering or consider your academic track record and put in a major that is related to your highest grade.
• In the section for it, list down all your achievements and extracurricular activities in reverse chronological order. Do not leave this section blank. Sell yourself!
• Answer the questions carefully.
• Request for your letters of recommendations early. A month might be sufficient, but even earlier would be better. Some schools would ask you to send these in with your application while others would require that it be sent by the teacher. Read the instructions.
