With over 1000 participating colleges nationwide, the Common App is the central place that students interested in attending a public four-year university will apply for college. Students fill out one application, and can send it to as many private and independent universities as they want, for a one-time fee per school. Some notable California colleges that are available to apply to on the Common App are Stanford University, Dominican University, Saint Mary's College, The University of Southern California (USC), California Institute of Technology (CalTech), Loyola Marymount University, Occidental College, and Pepperdine University.
