[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Start the Common App in 9th grade...keep using it to add all the EC stats.  You get into the habit of logging your accomplishment as well as have a fair sense where your application is weak. [/b]

Chart your courses for the entire HS journey beginning of 9th grade

Advanced Math  actually starts from ES years.  Don't wait for the school to enrich and accelerate. You can do it on your own by using Khan Academy.

College visits from 10th grade. Virtual is absolutely fine. Interview them.

You can do this?? I didn't even know that. [/quote]

+2. Is this true?[/quote]

You can create a parent account and have access to the entire common app.  The only thing you are unable to do with the parent app is submit the application.  For my high stat kid, I wanted to know what the app consisted of.  Yes, this meant that for  a lot of the activities he liked to do, we also approached from the angle of how they could be presented advantageously on the common app.  If there was a need to enhance the activity by tying in with other things, we were able to do that.  If you have no idea what the common app is asking for, you cannot be strategic. [/quote]
