Paying for college : explore scholarships and other opportunities to help offset costs
Common App is a site used by over 1,100 colleges to streamline the application process for colleges. Students create an account and can select multiple schools but only have to complete the common application information only once- personal contact information, activities, GPA, classes taken, etc. Students then complete a central essay that can be applied to multiple schools.
Things to note: Some schools will ask for more specific responses to their specific school or program. However, there are not multiple sites to navigate to complete them.
