What is the Common Application?

The Common Application is an admission application that is accepted by 456 colleges and universities. It simplifies the college admission process by allowing students to complete an online application that can be duplicated and sent to multiple schools. All member schools fully support its use and give equal consideration to the Common Application and their own forms (when also an option). 

Most colleges have specific supplements that must be completed in addition to the main Common Application. The supplements may include additional questions, short answers, or essays. Recommendations can be made by your  College & Career Counselor.
