Common Application

Transcripts

The Common App allows you to apply to multiple schools on a single website.

When adding a Recommender from U-High, please use the “ilstu.edu” email address, not the Google email address.

Transcripts need to be requested through Parchment.

For Common App Schools, transcripts are included as part of the “School Report” which your counselor will complete.

Sending Test Scores

Recommendation Letters

The transcript U-High sends out does NOT include any test scores.

Test scores must be requested and directly sent from College Board or ACT

• Send your SAT scores
• Send your ACT scores

Many colleges allow students to self-report test scores for admission purposes, and send test scores to their college once you have decided to attend.

Many colleges are also test-optional.

Please complete the Brag Sheet and share with anyone writing you a letter of recommendation.

Be sure to give your recommender at least 2 weeks (minimum) to complete your recommendation.

College Rep Visits

College Visits

College Rep Visits are scheduled on Tuesdays and will be held in the U-High Library during 5th, 6th, or 7th periods. All college rep visits will be posted on the U-High calendar. Students need to complete the College Representative Visit form prior to visit.

Juniors and Seniors are each allowed 3 days for college visits. Students can schedule these visits by contacting the Admissions Office at each college. The College Visit form must be completed and turned into the U-High Main Office when the student returns to school.
