I'm weighing my options for next year and looking into community colleges. Do I need to fill out the Common Application for these schools, or do they have their own application process? Trying to make sure I'm prepared for everything.
No, generally, community colleges do not use the Common Application. Instead, most community colleges have their own individual application process that is typically found on their official website. The application process is usually more straightforward than four-year colleges and universities, typically asking for basic information like your high school transcript and standardized test scores, if applicable.
That being said, it's important to remember that each community college may have its own unique requirements. Therefore, I would recommend directly visiting the website of the community colleges you're interested in to find out their specific application procedures.
Remember, deadlines can vary among institutions, so keep track of when you need to submit your materials. Good luck as you navigate your post-high school plans!
