Many parents underestimate the time and effort required to put together college applications—especially when it comes to writing application essays. With application deadlines approaching faster than you think, last-minute scrambling can lead to unnecessary stress and compromised opportunities.

As we find ourselves inching closer towards college application season, many students find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of essays and fast-approaching deadlines. The reality is burnout can take a serious toll on students’ motivation, mental health, and overall performance. 

The Common App is used by thousands of universities worldwide. Understanding how to navigate the platform can make all the difference when submitting applications.
