1:36
is a platform uh where you can that you
1:38
can use to apply to a lot of uh
1:40
universities in the United States. This
1:42
is the platform. I've made other
1:44
tutorials for other universities as well
1:46
and universities in United States and
1:49
they all use common app. Here we create
1:51
our account. Let's choose first year
1:53
student. I'm going to demonstrate this
1:55
as a firstear student who is applying
1:57
for the first time. So we give them our
2:00
email password uh and like some personal
2:03
information etc. I'm going to do that.
2:05
I'm going to use fake information here
2:07
because in the end I'm not going to send
2:09
this application to the university. This
2:11
is just demonstration purposes. Okay, I
2:13
gave them a temporary email address.
2:15

you can also give them right now by

10:33
here because I only want to fill out
10:35
what the university asks for. Is

promotion with within your educational
10:40
system based upon standard leaving
10:42
examinations given at the end of lower
10:44
and or senior secondary school by a
10:46
state or national leaving examination
10:48
board which it it is in Turkey but I'm
10:51
not going to answer it because it's not
10:52
mandatory. Okay. So this section is done
10:55
activities.
10:57
Reporting activities can help colleges
10:59
better understand your life outside of
11:01
classroom. Um you can choose any one of
11:03
these like click on yes and give all the
11:07
information activity type position
11:09
organization name etc etc. Uh I'm going
11:12
to choose no here and of course
11:14
activities are really good and useful at
11:18
standing out as a student. Sometimes
11:20
academics and activities are impacted by
11:22
impacted by household responsibilities
11:24
or other circumstances. Sharing this
11:27
information with colleges can help them
11:28
better understand the context of your
11:31
application. You may repeat information
11:33
you already provided elsewhere in your
11:35
common app. Please select which
11:37
responsibilities you spend four or more
11:40
hours per week doing like farm, managing
11:43
family or household finances, paying
11:45
bills, taking care of your of your
11:47
younger family, uh working at a paid
11:49
job, etc., etc. I'm going to choose none
11:51
of these. Please select which
11:53
circumstances you've experienced
11:55
committing 60 minutes or more to and
11:57
from school each day which might be the
12:01
case for a lot of people from uh like
12:04
developing countries perhaps
12:05
experiencing home homelessness or
12:07
another unstable living situation. You
12:10
you get the idea. Let's click on none of
12:11
these. Hang on. Wait. So if you choose
12:14
any one of these, okay, you don't you
12:16
don't have to give any information
12:18
anyway. Let's click on none of these and
12:20
continue. Okay. So in the writing
12:22
section we have personal essay and
12:24
additional information. Some colleges
12:26
require submission of the personal essay
12:28
with your common app. You may submit a
12:30
personal essay to any college even if
12:32
it's not required by that college. If
12:34
not required by a college you will be
12:36
given the option during submission to
12:38
include your essay or not for that
12:41
college. I understand. So uh since we
12:44
only applying to Jackson State
12:45
University they're telling us that it's
12:47
not required by this university. So we
12:50
can just give them something here or we
12:53
can just click on continue. Additional
12:55
information. Sometimes a student's
12:57
application and achievements may be
12:59
impacted by challenges or other
13:02
circumstances. This could involve Yeah,
13:04
you can see access to a safe and quiet
13:06
study place, discrimination, natural
13:09
disasters, war, conflict, or other
13:12
hardships. Would you like to share any
13:13
details about challenges or other
13:15
circumstances you've experienced? Let's
13:18
say now would you like to share any
13:20
additional? If you say yes, of course
13:22
you can give them information. Would you
13:24
like to share any additional details or
13:26
qualifications not reflected in the
13:28
application? Again, you can choose yes
13:31
and like type it in. I'm going to say
13:33
no. Okay. So, all the sections are done.
13:37
So, you can give them information about
13:39
your courses and grades. But the
13:41
colleges currently on your my colleges
13:43
list do not require you to complete the
13:46
courses and grade section. So basically
13:48
we have kind of completed our profile
13:51
like our my common app profile right
13:54
now. So we we only have to go through
13:57
the college specific stuff right now. So
13:59
I'm going to here click on my colleges
14:02
and click on Jackson State University.
14:04
Again we can click on college
14:05
information like application deadlines
14:08
um application information. As you can
14:10
see, we have the application fee,
14:12
standardized test policy, it's not
14:14
required. They only accept ILts or TOFL.
14:18
We have recommendations, school report
14:20
required, final report required, teacher
14:23
evaluations, other etc. You can see
14:25
writing requirements, they're optional.
14:27
Okay. So, in the application section,
14:30
let's click on general. Preferred start
14:32
term, let's say uh fall 2026. Preferred
14:36
admission plan, let's say rolling
14:38
admission. Or you can choose spring 2026
14:40
as well. Disclosure of your social
14:43
security number is requested solely for
14:45
recordeping accuracy. Please be aware
14:47
that financial, you know, you get the
14:49
idea. Okay, let's give them something
14:51
made up. Click on continue. What is your
14:54
preferred major? Let's say let's say
14:58
computer science. Click on continue. We
15:00
have family. Did either of your parents
15:02
or guardians attend Jackson State
15:04
University? Let's say no and continue.
15:06
Have you ever been convicted of a
15:07
felony? If you choose yes, you can get
15:09
given the information. Let's click on
15:11
no. So here we have fura release
15:14
authorization. If you do not know what
15:16
furpa is, it's basically kind of your
15:19
right to review all the documents
15:21
regarding your application which
15:24
normally includes things like uh
15:26
recommendation letter. But the thing is
15:29
the universities want recommendation
15:30
letters to be kind of confidential. Your
15:33
recommenders should be free to write
15:37
their real their opinions without being
15:40
concerned with you reviewing the letter
15:42
later. So if you choose that, you
15:44
basically accept that you will not ask
15:48
to review the recommendation letter.
15:51
Okay? If you do not do that,
15:52
recommenders
15:54
can um refuse to write any
15:56
recommendation letters for you because
15:59
then they they know that you might later
16:02
want to review that like read that
16:03
recommendation letter. Okay, basically
16:05
it just says you will not try to read
16:08
the recommendation letter. Okay, let's
16:10
click on complete. I've read and
16:12
understood the fur per release
16:14
authorization explanation above.
16:16
Acknowledge that every school that I
16:17
have attended may release all requested
16:19
records and recommendations, colleges,
16:22
etc., etc. I've waved my right to review
16:25
all recommendations and supporting
16:27
documents. So that's that's the whole
16:29
point like I will not try to read the
16:32
recommendation letters later because you
16:34
have that right. You have to give up
16:36
that right here and save and close.
16:39
Okay. Now we are going to invite
16:40
recommenders.
16:42
Here we have recommendation and then we
16:44
have counselor. We can click on invite
16:47
counselor. You can give give them an
16:48
email address their like counselor's
16:50
email address. Type in the name and then
16:54
click on invite and then let's click on
16:56
continue. Basically obviously for you to
16:58
be able to finish your application. Your
17:01
counselor must accept the invitation
17:04
email. You're ready to review and submit
17:06
your application to Jackson State
17:07
University. The submission process
17:09
includes the following steps. Review
17:11
your application. Your personal essay
17:13
for uh Jackson State University is
17:15
optional. Would you like to include your
17:16
personal essay in your application to
17:18
this college? You can choose yes. And
17:20
now I'm going to choose no because we
17:22
didn't write any. Jackson State
17:24
University has chosen not to include
17:26
certain common app responses in the PDF
17:28
they receive. So they are not so they
17:30
will not see your partial SSM social
17:33
security number. And then pay the
17:34
application fee if applicable. If the
17:36
scholar charges a fee and you do not
17:38
have a fee waver, you'll need to pay the
17:41
application fee before submitting your
17:42
application. It was $25 if you remember.
17:45
Uh but if if you have chosen any one of
17:48
the like application fee criteria, uh
17:50
then application fee waiver criteria,
17:53
then you don't have to pay it. And then
17:56
we have review and submit. I'm going to
17:58
click on review and submit here. And
18:00
then we can review our application here
18:02
or like or we can download it and see it
18:04

18:07
I've reviewed the PDF etc etc. Then we
18:10
have the payment section. Application
18:11
fee is $25 for first year international.
18:14
Uh you'll be directed to a secure
18:16
third-party payment service to pay this
18:18
application fee. Do not open multiple
18:20
tabs during this process. You must
18:23
complete payment and submission for one
18:25
college before starting to pay for
18:27
another college. Once you submit your
18:29
payment, you will be unable to change
18:32
your payment type. Once you complete
18:33
your payment, you must return to Common
18:35
App and complete the submission process.

18:38
which will take us to another page for
18:41

here. And I'm going to click on
18:49

18:53
region I'm going to choose Turkey. It'll
18:56
give the amount to me in Turkish lera is
18:59
here. So I can use Visa or Mastercard
19:03
and that's the pay information.
19:04
Basically you type in like you give uh
19:06
the information of your credit card or
19:08
whatever card it is Mastercard Visa and
19:11
when you click on next you finish the
19:14
