Common Application
What is Common application?
Common App is a non-profit college access organization that helps students apply to college every year. Common App’s free college application tool is designed to make applying to college faster and easier. With Common App you only need to use one system to apply to multiple colleges and universities. There are two main parts you fill out: a set of common questions and each college’s own specific questions. The best part is you only have to fill out the common questions one time!
The Common App Questions: Step-by-Step - The Common Application can be challenging to work through. Stand Out College Prep breaks down the application for you, one question at a time.
