Hi guys! I'm a junior and I've heard a lot about the Common App. How does it work and what are the benefits of using it? Can I apply to all of my colleges through the Common App? Thanks for any information you can provide!
Hey there! The Common App is a great tool for streamlining your college application process. It's an online platform that allows you to apply to multiple colleges using just one application. By filling out a single form, you can apply to any of the 900+ member colleges that accept the Common App. This can save you a lot of time and effort when applying to multiple schools. The Common App includes sections for demographic information, extracurricular activities, and your personal essay. Some colleges may require additional supplemental essays or materials, which you can also submit through the Common App. However, not all colleges are part of the Common App system, so you should double-check whether all your target schools accept it. Overall, the Common App can be a huge time-saver and makes it easier to keep track of your applications. Good luck with your applications!
