Hey fellow juniors! I just heard about something called a 'final report' on the Common App and I'm confused about what it is. Is this something I need to be thinking about now or is it a senior year concern?
Hello there! The 'final report' on the Common App is a form that your high school counselor submits after you've graduated, which includes your final grades and confirms your high school completion. It's really meant to give colleges the most updated information before you enroll. Think of it as a final check-in on your academic record. So, for now, as a junior, it's not something you need to worry about. Your focus should be on keeping your grades up, preparing for standardized tests if needed, and exploring different extracurriculars or summer activities that interest you. When senior year rolls around, just make sure you keep an open line of communication with your counselor about all the forms they'll need to submit for your applications - and the final report will be one of them. For now, keep up the good work, and don't hesitate to ask your counselor for guidance when you need it. That's what we're here for!
