How to Upload Your Application to Admissions Checkup

October 4, 2017 By Stephanie Klein Wassink

One of the most common questions we hear from our clients is how to upload your application to AdmissionsCheckup.com. Here are step-by-step instructions for a successful upload of all application pieces (including essays and transcripts) and you will be one step closer to a better, stronger application!

Common Application

(We recommend using Safari or Firefox for an easier download process.)

  1. Find your CommonApp username/email and password.
  2. Go to commonapp.org.
  3. Click “Log In” in the top right hand corner, then click “Student.”
  4.  Enter your username/email and password.
  5. Find your #1 school in the Dashboard and click on its name. Two tabs will appear; under the “Status” tab, you should see the the word “Ready” next to “Common Application,” “Questions,” “Recommenders and FERPA” and “Writing Questions” (if your school has a writing supplement).
  6. Click the “Review and Submit” button. (Note: you are not actually submitting your application!) A PDF preview of your application will appear.
  7. Open the PDF in Preview.
  8. Save the PDF to your computer.

Essays and Other Required Materials From #1 School

(We recommend using Chrome for an easier download process.)

  1. From Google Drive: Open your essay in Google Docs editing mode.
  2. Export it as a PDF by clicking “File,” hovering over “Download as,” and clicking “PDF Document (pdf).”
  3. From Microsoft Word: Open your essay in editing mode.
  4. Click “File,” “Save as,” and from the dropdown menu under the format tab, click “PDF” Transcript.
  5. If you have a JPEG, export it to a PDF.
  6. If you don’t have a formal transcript, type it into a Google or Word document and save it as a PDF.

Once you’ve saved all of your documents as PDFs, you are ready to upload your application to Admissions Checkup! If you have questions or would like our coupon code for $30 off, please email us at info@admissionscheckup.com. Good luck!
