Do I need to complete the Common App in one sitting?

Nope, and thank goodness for that. The Common App is not a one-and-done deal. It’s more like a slow-cooked stew. You can log in, poke around, add info, and save your progress. Your Common App dashboard lets you tackle each section at your own pace, from your activities to your personal statement. The key is starting early so you’re not rushing at the last minute. You’ll want time to reflect on those common app prompts, edit your responses, and perfect your tone. Whether you’re aiming for Common App direct admissions or applying to ten schools, the Common Application gives you the flexibility to pace yourself. Just don’t forget to hit submit when the time comes.
