Six weeks. One conversation a week. No stress required.

The Common App doesn't have to take over your house for three months.

Hit Submit breaks it into six weeks, one small step at a time; a few 15-minute tasks a day instead of one overwhelming weekend in October. All you have to do is sit down with your student once a week, walk through that week's checklist together, and check the boxes. That's it. One conversation a week, and the whole thing gets done.

Inside, you'll find:

• A 6-week, day-by-day roadmap covering everything from building your college list to hitting submit: research, the essay, activities and the brag sheet, recommendation letters, the paperwork, and a final review before you send it off

• A note in every section so you know exactly how to help without taking over

• A School + Contacts tracker, recommender tracker, and test score log, so nothing lives in six different browser tabs

• A Final Review Audit to run through before anyone hits submit

• Bonus: essay-writing guide, essay idea prompts, an 11-resource scholarship list, and my Top 10 Tips for Students and Parents
