“Thanks for choosing AdmissionsCheckup.com. Today, we’re going to show you how to upload your Common App to AdmissionsCheckup.com. First, log onto the Common App website and sign in. Once on the dashboard, click on the school to which you would like to submit. Now you will need to generate a PDF; you can only generate the PDF when the application is complete (indicated by green checkmarks or the word “ready”). To generate the PDF click “review” and “submit”. Keep in mind this isn’t actually submitting to the school; you will have to take several other steps, including payment, for it to actually be submitted. You will want to save your document as a PDF. Click on the download icon and then “save”.

If the PDF of your application won’t load, it might be because of your browser settings. You can use a different browser (we recommend Safari or Firefox) or you can adjust your browser settings. Here is a quick reference guide of how to change the settings, depending on the browser.

Once you have your application PDF, now, go to AdmissionsCheckup.com and click on “start here” then “submit application”. Step 1 is to provide the student’s contact information, standardized test scores, and the colleges you are applying to. Step 2, choose your package. Click here if you would like the feedback expedited. Step 3, upload student’s essays, transcripts or whatever you would like the admissions officers to review. If you prefer to not include your transcript or testing scores, click here. We will review whatever you include. Step 4, click here after you have reviewed our privacy policy. Let us know if there is anyone you want to receive the feedback and how you heard about us. Click submit. Now you are at the payment page. You can pay via Paypal or credit card.

I hope this helps. Thank you for using AdmissionsCheckup.com and good luck.”
