•PLEASE NOTE: Once you sign the FERPA waiver, YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR ANSWER. Please make sure you are absolutely sure BEFORE you answer this question. We advise all students to check "Yes, I waive my right." If you mark "No, I do not waive my right" colleges will not consider it confidential and it may hurt the credibility of the letter. If you, or your parents, have questions or concerns, please contact your counselor.
•Be sure to review the "Instructions" section before completing your application. This section has several video tutorials and links to other helpful resources.
•Common App will only allow you to apply to 20 schools. Choose wisely.
