A running list of what's most worth your time right now, based on your deadlines and progress.
Pulled straight from the schools you've added in Supplements — including Early Decision and Early Action dates.
Most students freeze hunting for a "big enough" moment. What works is something small and specific that reveals how you think. Run every topic through the "So What" test before you commit.
Pick the one your topic answers best — you'll write one 250-650 word essay that goes to every school on your list.
Draft three possible topics. Run each through the "So What" test above.
Drop the reader into one specific moment — mid-action, with sensory detail.
What shifted? What did you notice, try, or realize?
What did this reveal about how you think or what you value?
How does this show up in what you want to study or do next? Keep it brief.
Your draft saves automatically as you type — no button needed. Use "Save Version Snapshot" only when you want to bookmark this exact draft so you can come back to it later, even after writing over it.
Be honest — check off what's actually true of your current draft.
Up to 10 activities, ranked in the order they matter most to you. Position/Leadership: 50 characters. Organization Name: 100 characters. Description: 150 characters.
Use the ▲ ▼ buttons to reorder — Common App reads activity #1 as the one that matters most to you.
One card per school. Add every supplement prompt that school requires and draft it right here, with a live counter against its limit. Picking Early Decision or Early Action auto-fills November 1st as a starting estimate (most EA/ED deadlines land there) — adjust it if your school's actual date is different.
Check items off as you go. Your current phase is highlighted based on today's date.
Most students need 2-3 letters. Add one card per teacher/counselor.
Every tool on this portal is free while you're testing it out. Pick the plan that fits when you're ready.
