Hey everyone, I'm starting the college application process and was wondering if there's an easy way to find out which schools use the Common App. Is there a list or search tool that I should check out? Thanks!
Absolutely! The Common App website itself has a search tool to help you find all of the participating colleges and universities. To access it, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Common App website (commonapp.org) and then click on "College Search" in the main navigation menu, or alternatively, you can directly visit the following link: https://app.commonapp.org/search
2. Type the name of a specific college or university in the search bar if you're looking for a particular school. You can also filter the results based on various criteria, such as location, size, or specific programs.
3. Press "Enter" or click the magnifying glass icon to start the search.
4. Browse the list of schools that appear in the search results.
You can use this tool throughout your application process to quickly confirm whether a specific school is on the Common App platform. The list of participating schools is updated regularly, so be sure to check back often to stay informed. Good luck with your applications!
