2020-21 First Year Common Application.pdfCommon Application
Links to the online application for the Common Applications plus UCAS, CUNY, and the University of California can be found in the section below. Georgetown and MIT also have their own applications.
You can start the Common Applications at any time. The application (like most of these mentioned above) will be updated on or around August 1, but your account will roll over to the next application year.
NOTE: The Coaltiion Application merged with SCOIR as of summer 2022. Since the Common App is used by about 1100 colleges and universities and there are no applications that cannot be found on the Common App that are on SCOIR/Coalition, we strongly prefer you use the Common Application.
