Hey guys! I'm working on my college applications and focusing on using the Common App. I am trying to figure out which colleges actually accept the Common App for their admission process. Any ideas or resources to help me find this information?
Hey there! The Common App is widely accepted by many colleges and universities in the U.S. It's a great way to streamline the application process since you can use a single application to apply to multiple schools. Over 1,000 schools currently accept the Common App, so there's a wide variety to choose from!
To find the list of colleges that accept the Common App, you can simply visit the Common App website (commonapp.org) and use their College Search tool. This will allow you to search for colleges by name, location, and other filters. You can also find the list of member colleges directly on the Common App website under the "Colleges" section. This list is updated each application season, so make sure you're looking at the current year's list.
When you create an account on the Common App website, you'll also be able to add colleges to your "My Colleges" list, which will show the specific requirements for each school, including supplemental essays and application deadlines.
Just remember, while the Common App is a convenient tool, some colleges may have their own application platform or additional requirements alongside the Common App. It's always a good idea to double-check the admissions page of any college you're interested in to make sure you don't miss any important details. Good luck with your applications!
