Hey there! I was wondering if any of you know some good colleges that don't participate in the Common App system? I want to make sure I'm considering all my options!
Hey! It's always a good idea to explore all possible college options. While the Common App includes many great schools, there are indeed some excellent colleges that don't participate in the platform. I'll list a few here for you, but note that this list isn't exhaustive.
1. University of California system: This includes schools like UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, and a few others. They use their own application system called the UC Application.
2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): A top-tier research university famously known for its strong programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. They utilize their own application platform called the MyMIT application.
3. Georgetown University: This school in Washington, D.C., is well-regarded for its programs in international relations, business, and government. They use their own application portal.
4. California State University system: Including schools like California State University, Long Beach, and San Diego State University, the CSU system uses the Cal State Apply application.
Remember that each of these application systems has its own set of requirements, deadlines, and fee structures. So, if you decide to apply to these colleges, be sure to research, prioritize, and stay organized to keep on top of their specific criteria.
Good luck with the application process and considering all your options!
