What does a complete college application consist of?
At minimum, most colleges and universities require the submission of a completed preformatted application and current high school transcript. It is not uncommon for colleges to also require the submission of several other documents including a counselor recommendation, teacher recommendations, official standardized test scores (sent directly from the testing agency), and at least one essay. Some colleges might also require supplements that ask for additional information. Students who are applying into specialized visual or performing arts programs may be required to submit a portfolio or participate in an audition. Requirements vary from college to college. It is important to investigate each college’s requirements before you apply. Most college application requirements are listed on the colleges website, in information materials or in college guidebooks. Your college counselor will help you sift through each college’s requirements.
