Can someone help me understand what 'Date of Entry' means on the Common App? I'm confused whether it refers to the date I started high school or the date I intend to start college. Thanks in advance!
The 'Date of Entry' on the Common App typically refers to the date you plan to enter college, not when you began high school. So, for example, if you're applying for the Fall 2023 term, your Date of Entry would be August or September 2023, depending on the specific start date of your college's academic calendar. Always double-check your application instructions to make sure you're entering the correct date and interpreting the question as intended by each college, as requirements may vary slightly. Good luck with your applications!
