I'm getting ready to apply for college, and I've heard the Common Application makes the whole process a bit easier. Can anyone provide me with a list of colleges that accept the Common App? Or direct me to where I can find a current list? I want to know if any of my top choices are on there!
The Common Application is indeed a convenient way to apply to multiple colleges using a single platform. It is accepted by over 900 colleges and universities across the United States and abroad. Providing an exhaustive list here would be difficult due to the sheer number of participating institutions.
To access the most current and accurate list of colleges that accept the Common App, it's best to visit the official Common Application website (https://www.commonapp.org). Once you create an account, you can easily search for colleges within the platform based on criteria such as location, size, or specific programs of interest. Additionally, you can also view some important information about each college, including deadlines, requirements, and supplemental essay prompts.
As a side note, if any of your top choices are not on the Common Application, double check if they are using the Coalition Application, as that is another popular application system accepted by many colleges and universities. If they aren't showing up there either, you can head to their websites to see how to submit your application.
Good luck with your college applications!
