commonapp.org: Common App is a popular platform for students who want to apply to multiple different colleges. Common App allows students to fill out their general information one time, then populate that information for all of their applications. Students will need to supply additional information for each school they apply to, but this platform generally reduces the amount of information students have to repeatedly enter if they are applying to multiple schools. Common App has over 1,000 schools that students can apply to on their platform. Learn more about Common App here.
cfnc.org: College for North Carolina (aka CFNC) is a platform that allows students to apply to public, private, and community colleges in North Carolina. CFNC also allows students to apply through NC College Connect if they are eligible. Learn more about CFNC here.
