The Common App

The Common Application (aka "Common App") is a universal application used at over 1,000 member colleges. https://www.commonapp.org/

Common App released a new look for the 2025-26 admission cycle. Some screenshots or videos may look quite different from what it currently looks like, although the same components are there.

PLEASE NOTE: Starting with the Class of 2026, your Common App must be linked to your SchooLinks account! All transcripts and letters of rec (teachers and counselor) will be requested and sent through SchooLinks.
