Kinda feeling overwhelmed, not gonna lie. I need to add my school鈥檚 advisor to my Common App, but I've got no clue where to start. If anyone's done this, some step-by-step help would be a lifesaver right now!
Hey there, I totally understand that the process can feel overwhelming, but you're doing great by reaching out for help! To add your school advisor to your Common App, start by logging into your account. From there, click on the 'My Colleges' tab and select a college. Look for the 'Recommenders and FERPA' section, which is typically found under the 'Recommendations' heading. You'll need to complete the FERPA Release Authorization before you can invite recommenders.
Once you've done that, return to the 'Recommenders and FERPA' section, and you should see an option to 'Invite Counselors'. Enter your advisor's email address here. Your advisor will then get an email with instructions on how to proceed. Make sure to communicate with your advisor outside of the Common App, too, so they know to expect the invitation and can prepare their materials accordingly.
And remember, it鈥檚 okay to feel a bit stressed during the college application process, but take it one step at a time, and it鈥檒l all get done. Reach out anytime you have questions or need support!
