Can't figure out how to save my Common App as a PDF? Any tips?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to check my Common App application front to back before I hit submit, but I can't seem to figure out how to save a preview or the entire application as a PDF. Does anyone have some steps or tips they can share on how to do this? Thanks a bunch!

Absolutely, I'd be happy to guide you through this process. Once you've completed your Common App and are ready to review it, you'll navigate to the 'My Colleges' tab. From there, select a college and go to the 'Review and Submit' section for that college. There's an option to 'Preview' your application in full. When you click it, it will generate a PDF version of your application which you can save. It's crucial to check everything on this PDF because it's exactly how colleges will see your application. Also, make sure to review each college's specific questions or supplemental essays as some details change. Be sure to do this for each college you are applying to, as the PDF will only show the application as it's tailored to that particular college. Good luck with your final review and submission!
