How do I know if a college is a Common Application school?

Hey guys! I'm in the beginning stages of applying to college, and I wanted to know how I can find out if a college is part of the Common Application system. Is there a list of schools that use the Common App somewhere?

Yes, there is a list of schools that are a part of the Common Application system. To find out if a college is a Common App school, you can visit the Common App website (commonapp.org) and search for the college or university in their database.

Upon navigating to the Common App website, you would need to create or log into your account. Once logged in, you can click on the "College Search" tab. From here, you can search for the college by typing its name in the search bar. Alternatively, you can use the filter options to narrow down the schools based on criteria such as location, application deadlines, and fee waivers.

If the college you're interested in appears in the search results, that means it is a Common Application school. The search results will also provide useful information about the application requirements, deadlines, and any additional forms or school-specific questions that you must complete for the institution. Make sure to double-check the college's website or contact their admissions office to confirm application procedures and deadlines, as information may change over time. Good luck with your college application process!
