Hello everyone, I'm a junior starting to narrow down my list of colleges and I'm wondering, how many schools are actually on the Common App? Just trying to get an idea of my options without scouring the entire website. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! It's great you're getting a head start on your college planning. The Common Application is certainly a convenient tool to apply to multiple schools with one form. As of my last check, there are over 900 colleges and universities across the US and some international institutions that use the Common App. I know that's a lot and it might seem overwhelming! A good way to narrow down your options is to consider factors like location, size, majors offered, and campus culture. Also, don't forget to check each school's specific application requirements on the Common App, as they can vary. Best of luck in your college search!
