How do I apply for College? 

There are two primary shared college application websites: ApplyTexas and CommonApp. Both allow a student to fill out one application and submit it to multiple colleges. However, the college itself determines how they will accept applications. Some use ApplyTexas, some use CommonApp, and some require their own direct application. It is important to research preferred colleges first before starting the application process. Coalition for College and the UC Application are other shared application platforms that are sometimes used by college outside of Texas.
