Hi everyone, I'm currently a junior in high school, and I'm wondering which colleges accept the Common Application. It would be really convenient to apply using the Common App instead of filling out multiple separate applications. Any info would be great, thanks!
There are over 900 colleges and universities across the United States that accept the Common Application, and the list grows every year. The Common App is designed to make the college application process easier and more efficient for students like you, allowing you to complete one application for multiple schools. It's particularly helpful for those who plan to apply to several schools, as it saves time and effort.
While it's impossible to list all 900+ schools here, I can provide a few examples of well-known colleges and universities that accept the Common App:
1. Harvard University
2. Princeton University
3. Yale University
4. Columbia University
5. Stanford University
6. California Institute of Technology (CalTech)
7. University of Pennsylvania
8. University of Chicago
9. Duke University
10. Northwestern Universtiy
This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the Common App is accepted by a wide variety of institutions, including liberal arts colleges, state universities, private universities, and more. To see the entire list of colleges that accept the Common App, you can visit the Common Application website (https://www.commonapp.org/) and use their search feature to find participating schools based on your preferences, such as location, size, majors, and other factors.
Remember, while the Common App simplifies the application process, most colleges and universities will still require supplemental essays and/or materials, so be sure to research the specific requirements for each school you're interested in. Good luck with your application process!
