Hey guys, I'm pretty confused about what the final report is on the Common App. Do all schools require it, and what exactly does it include? Also, who is responsible for sending it, my counselor or do I have to do it myself?
Hello there! Happy to help clear things up about the final report on the Common App. Yes, the final report is a requirement for most schools. This report is essentially a form that confirms you've graduated from high school and it includes your final grades. It's a way for colleges to ensure that you've maintained your academic performance throughout your entire high school career.
You don't have to worry about sending it yourself, as it's typically the responsibility of your high school counselor or another school official to submit it directly to colleges. Important to note, this is usually sent after you've committed to a college, so it's part of the final steps in the college admission process. Remember to check with your counselor towards the end of the year to ensure it's taken care of, especially with senior year being so busy! Best of luck with everything, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions.
