The Common
Application |

The Common Application was developed so students
would not have to fill out different applications for every school on their
list. Instead, they complete this application once and send copies to participating
colleges (although some schools require supplemental information like an
additional essay, or answers to a few extra questions). If you are applying
to one of these 191 colleges, you will find an online version of the application
at this site. |
