PRIVATE COLLEGES APPLICATIONS
What is the Common App?
The Common App serves as a centralized application for 900 colleges and universities. The application reopens each Aug 1, but students can make an account at any time and begin working on their applications the year prior. Any information entered will be rolled over to the new application year.
This guide walks you through the materials needed and steps to take to get started on your Common App.
The common app essay prompts are available here. Keep in mind that your Common App schools may also require other writing submissions, so make sure to check each school you add to your common app for writing supplements.
Common App has created many PDF resources to help students through the process of college application. You can find all of the resources here.
