Episode Details

The new Common Application was released on August 1, and we've got information you need to know about this new version. While we're sure you've spent lots of time focusing on the big spends related to college, like tuition and room and board, you may not have thought to budget for all the incidental expenses likely to come up. We'll give you details on what other charges you should anticipate and build into your master spreadsheet. In Office Hours, we will talk you through activity resumes—including who needs them, what to add in and what to leave out, and other tips for crafting a successful record of your extracurricular achievements.
