STARS – Self-reporting your transcript for UW Seattle
Common Application
The Common App allows you to fill out one profile (personal information, education background, activities, personal statement, etc.) and use it to apply to many colleges. Some colleges require the Courses and Grades section, which will require you to self-report your transcript. Every college has their own specific section (this may include recommendations if required), but UW Seattle is the most specific. See the following videos for step-by-step how-to instructions for the Common App.
