College Applications
Most colleges prefer students to apply using the Common Application, also known as the Common app. The Common Application is a web based application that students may use to apply to several colleges in less time. Students must create an account to begin the application process. The common application does require a recommendation from the counselor, as well as others. Take note that when entering the counselor's email please use the email address acaudill@jaccendel.k12.in.us. Some schools do require you to fill out an application provided on their website. You can find a list of them here. (link webpage or list)
