Common Application

More than 100 colleges, including many highly selective colleges, accept the Common Application in lieu of their own application forms.  By endorsing and becoming members of the Common Application organization, colleges give equal consideration to the Common Application and their own institutional applications. 

Students complete one application that can be sent to any number of participating colleges.  This allows students to spend less time on the busywork of applying for admission, and more time on what's really important: college research, visits, essay writing, and senior year coursework.
