The Common Application is an easy way for students to apply to multiple colleges using one application. Please keep in mind that not all schools utilize the Common App. Please view the Common App website for a complete listing of colleges and universities that accept the Common App. Using the Common App does not eliminate the application fee that is associated with each individual school. For schools that require recommendation letters, the recommenders can upload their letter directly to the Common App.
