WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To coincide with today's release of the Common Application's newest edition, U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in education rankings, published an updated guide with comprehensive advice for college applicants on how to best utilize this tool. The Common App is accepted by nearly 900 schools, and it allows prospective students to apply to multiple schools with just one application.

"A lot of work goes into applying to college, including filling out the Common App, writing personal essays and getting recommendation letters," said Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education for U.S. News. "Early August is a great time for prospective college students to start the process, before a busy school year begins and they have competing priorities."

For students navigating this process, here are few tips to keep in mind:

Start early. Experts recommend beginning your application about six weeks before it's due. The newest edition of the Common App is available on Aug. 1 each year, allowing applicants time to get started before the academic year begins. The deadline to submit the completed application is 11:59 p.m. local time on Jan. 1.

Choose the essay prompt best suited to you. The Common App provides seven essay prompts to choose from, meaning students have some flexibility in determining the most effective way to represent themselves on paper.

Ask questions. The Common App provides 24/7 online technical assistance. If you're still stuck, ask your school counselor or reach out to the colleges you're applying to.

"We want all students to feel supported by Common App – regardless of where they are in their journey. This year's update helps us connect with the broader range of students, counselors and institutions that we serve, and allows us to grow our programs and services – beyond technology – in support of our mission," said Jenny Rickard, president and CEO of Common App. "Our new website is designed to help students better plan for college, explore their options and apply. In addition to an enhanced web experience, Common App is introducing several user experience improvements to the 2019-2020 application including better access from mobile devices and tablets."

Guides such as this one serve U.S. News' broader mission of providing trusted information and rankings to help students navigate their higher education options. These include expert advice and tips on the financial aid process, college affordability, student loans and more. U.S. News also publishes annual rankings of the Best High Schools, Best Colleges, Best Global Universities, Best Graduate Schools and Best Online Programs.

LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrew Hsu, a member of the DoubleLine investment team since the firm's inception and head of both the Asset-Backed Securities and Infrastructure investment teams, has been added as a co-portfolio manager of the $53 billion DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund.  Mr. Hsu joins the portfolio management team of Jeffrey Gundlach, lead portfolio manager and Philip Barach, co-portfolio manager.

The DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund invests primarily in fixed-income securitizations, also referred to as structured products, including Agency and private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), commercial MBS, collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities.

"Andrew has been part of my investment team for 17 years," Mr. Gundlach said. "As an analyst, trader and portfolio manager, he has had deep experience in every major sector of the securitization universe in which the Total Return Bond fund invests. Similar to the promotion of Jeffrey Sherman to DoubleLine Deputy CIO a few years ago, the addition of Mr. Hsu to our prospectus as a named portfolio manager is more an acknowledgement of the role he has grown into and his growing contributions than a change in responsibilities."

Mr. Sherman cited Mr. Hsu's leadership as an innovator. "I've known Andrew virtually my entire career," Mr. Sherman said.  "He has the rare ability to buck conventional wisdom and see past rigid style boxes to spot new market developments and emerging trends before they become obvious years later."

Andrew Hsu is co-portfolio manager of the DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund and of the DoubleLine Infrastructure Income Fund.  Prior to DoubleLine, Mr. Hsu worked at TCW where he was focused on credit analysis for structured-product securities and co-managed two structured-product funds focusing on debt and equity investments. Previously, Mr. Hsu worked at Inte Cap as a consultant focusing on the valuation of intangible assets. Mr. Hsu holds a BS in Finance from the University of Southern California and is a CFA charterholder.

In addition, Messrs. Gundlach and Sherman were appointed to the portfolio management team of the DoubleLine Low Duration Bond Fund, joining Philip Barach, president of DoubleLine Capital; Robert Cohen, director, Global Developed Credit; and Luz Padilla, director, International Fixed Income.
