secondary and supplemental applications

[Hannahpaiges]

Hello! I am almost finished with filling out my new CASPA application that just opened this past week. I know that we have to fill out the supplemental applications for each school we apply to, but where do we fill them out and submit them? Do we need to wait to fill them out until we are further contacted by the school? Some schools have them already have links attached that take you to them, but most do not. Also, how do we go about doing the background check for each school? Thank you!

Just one post is sufficient. Fill out what is provided. The programs with send you anything else if you make their cut. Backgrounds are after you have accepted a seat they have offered. One step at a time.

As you've stated, some programs have their supplemental application link posted on their site. You can complete that at your leisure but it's good to submit your CASPA application first and foremost.

 

Other programs will e-mail you their supplemental application to complete once they receive your CASPA application and usually have these instructions posted on their site as well.

 

If there is no supplemental application posted on the program's site or mention of having a supplemental application e-mailed to you after receiving your CASPA application, there is no supplemental application required for the program.
