    APPLICATION TYPES

    A digital application file is created under your name when you apply to college. This file contains your application and supporting documentation. The central part of your file is based on quantitative data, but other parts provide qualitative information about your time in high school. To build a successful application file, research the specific requirements of the colleges you’re interested in. Most institutions are clear about what they want and don’t want as part of your application. This is your chance to show that you can understand and follow directions. Below is a list of items that make up an application file.
