Hey everyone, I'm starting to work on my college applications and I hear the Common App is a major timesaver. Is there a list of schools that accept the Common App? Ideally, I'd like to apply to most of my colleges through this platform. Thanks!
Hello! Absolutely, the Common App is a convenient way to apply to multiple colleges using a single application. Over 1,00 colleges and universities in the United States accept the Common App, including many top-ranked schools. For a comprehensive list of participating institutions, you can visit the Common App website (commonapp.org), and use their "Explore Colleges" tool to search and filter schools that accept the Common App. You can also use the search bar to check if a specific college you're interested in is part of the Common App.
As you research schools and finalize your college list, I recommend checking each institution's specific application requirements, as some schools may have additional essay prompts or supplemental material to submit along with the Common App. It's essential to stay organized and be aware of all deadlines to ensure a smooth application process. Good luck on your college applications!
