Summer is in full swing, and this is the perfect time for rising seniors to start working on their Common Application (Common App). To ensure a smoother application process and a less stressful senior year, we encourage students to complete most of their Common App - including the personal statement (main essay) - by August 1, when colleges typically release their supplemental essay prompts.
One exceptional resource we recommend is the AXS Companion. This free online tool, a collaboration between the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and Oregon State University Ecampus, is aimed at “improving access and clarity for under-resourced students who lack college counseling support.”

The links below will provide support for:
While initially designed to aid under-resourced students, the AXS Companion can provide significant benefits to students working with an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC). For those without an IEC, rest assured that the AXS Companion offers reliable guidance and information.
If you need more information on completing the Common App or any aspect of the college admissions process, don't hesitate to reach out to me at steve@fineeducationalsolutions.com
