Higher education applications
College apps is the informal term for college applications—the documents, essays, and forms students submit when seeking admission to universities.
The phrase dominates high school conversations during senior year: I can't go out tonight, I'm working on my college apps.
The process typically involves personal statements, transcripts, test scores, and recommendation letters, with deadlines clustering in fall and winter.
