The Common Application

The Common Application is a standardized online form that students can use to apply to multiple colleges and universities simultaneously. It streamlines the admissions process by providing a single platform to submit personal information, academic history, essays, and recommendation details. Instead of filling out separate applications for each school, students complete the common application once and send it to various institutions that accept it. This saves time and effort while still allowing each school to receive all the necessary information to consider the applicant for admission.
