How does COVID-19 affect my application?

So you’re applying during a pandemic… We’re here to help.
Pandemic conditions have caused most schools to jettison testing requirements for applications, which means that other elements of your application are going to carry greater weight. We think this is great news: your writing matters more! The Common Application has also added an optional COVID-19 component to its Additional Information section, and we’re here to help you figure out that one, too.
