The Common App Requirements Grid is an excellent resource as you map out the next seven months of the college application process. Research the College Application Week in NC which waives application fees for certain colleges. That info is in this Canvas class. Why would you spend hundreds of dollars on application fees if you could apply for free during this week? Also notice that UNC Carolina has an Early Action deadline of 10/15. This means that you need to be almost prepared to apply when the school year begins. The only thing left to do should be some tweaking here and there.

The requirements grid lists all colleges that accept the Common App, along with key application details for each one. This easy-to-read format includes deadlines, application fees (if applicable), writing requirements, and more.
