The Common App is a holistic marketing dossier, not a data-entry form. At CityPrep, we help students avoid the systemic mistakes that undermine their personal narrative curation.

Mistake 1: The Flat Activities List

Every word must be an active, high-impact verb that models assertiveness. For more on building an elite profile, see our guide on crafting the perfect resume. You can find more on the Common App on CommonApp.org.

Mistake 2: Disorganized Sequencing

Order your activities by impact and alignment. For more on college application strategy, read our post on Early Decision vs. Early Action.
