The matching process is so teachers and counselors can send all your documents to your colleges. You still need to add colleges to both your Common App account AND
your Naviance/Family Connection list.

You must bring in your Release of Records Form.
Click Add Colleges.
Let’s talk about these icons and what they mean.
HOW DO I REQUEST TRANSCRIPTS?
Click Request Transcripts
Be sure to click Request Transcripts!!
You will get a green confirmation box stating that your transcript requests have been submitted.
WHAT IS A TEACHER AND COUNSELOR SURVEY?
IN ABOUT ME TAB, Under “Surveys to take,” click brag sheet questions
There are a total of 33 questions on this form. The more info you give, the better recommendation we can write! Counselors AND recommending teachers will be able to see these answers
Click on the COLLEGES tab and “colleges I’m applying to” when complete
Click on add/cancel requests.
Click on arrow.
You must write a note! It is NOT optional!
Be careful about how many teachers you ask to write a recommendation for you-the Common App and many other schools only want a maximum of two. Since things are electronic now, if more than two teachers submit a rec letter for you electronically, only the first two will be accepted.
Click a teacher’s name off the drop-down menu.
Make sure you write a note!!!
Click Update Requests
You will get a green confirmation box stating that your requests have been updated.
If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, no worries! We are here to help and will be meeting with you on a one-on-one basis
