What information is commonly required on college admission applications?
Certainly personal information: where you live, birth date, family information. Often times they'll ask where your parents went to college and if they went to college. They'll ask what professions your parents are in and the schools you've attended, the courses you have taken, currently taking, the extra curricular activities you've been engaged in, what years you were engaged, some of them ask the number of hours per week. There is a section for awards and honors, work experience, community service, and there are also sometimes supplemental forms such as recommendations where teacher recommendations are required from the student as well as the school counselor report form. The two teacher recommendations I often suggest that students select: two different academic teachers in their junior year of high school because they've known them for a whole year, for the longest period of time and the school counselor generally will submit the transcript to the university and also ask the student often times questions about themselves and what their goals and aspirations are and then submit a recommendation form as well to the university.
