Just trying to plan out my senior year schedule and I'm a little lost. Does anyone know roughly how much time I'll need to set aside to properly complete the Common App?
Hi there! It's great that you're planning ahead for your senior year鈥攖ime management is key! Speaking from experience as a parent, the Common App can be quite time-consuming. My child spread the work over several weeks, aiming for a few hours each weekend to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Overall, including essay drafting and revisions, she spent around 20-30 hours on the process. This gave her ample time to reflect on her answers and ensure she was presenting herself authentically. It's also helpful to start early, so if you hit a roadblock, you have time to seek guidance from a counselor or teacher without rushing. Good luck!
