How to send your completed Common App to your college counselor

Hello VI Form -

We are looking forward to getting completed electronic copies of your
Common Apps so we can help you present all your incredible qualities!
Here's how to send us a copy of your Common App:

If using a Mac:

1. Complete all required parts of the common app. (If you try to print
before that, no big deal - it will just give you a list of the things you
still need to complete.)
2. Press "Print/Print preview" at the bottom of the page. A document named
something like "print.aspx" should pop up.
3. Go to the File menu, then Print...
4. Press the "PDF" button.
5. Press "Save as PDF"
6. Save as "YourLastName CommonApp.pdf" and choose where you want to save
it to.
7. Find that document and attach it to an email to your college counselor.

If using a PC:

1. Complete all required parts of the common app. (If you try to print
before that, no big deal - it will just give you a list of the things you
still need to complete.)
2. Press "Print/Print preview" at the bottom of the page. A document named
something like "print" should pop up.
3. Press the button in the upper left of the window that looks like a disk
and/or is titled "Save a copy of a file.."
4. Save as "YourLastName CommonApp.pdf" and choose where you want to save
it to.
5. Find that document and attach it to an email to your college counselor.

Thanks!
