The Common Application is an organization that serves students by providing applications that can be filled-out either online or in print and sent to any one of more than 400 schools. In order for your school to accept the Common App, it must be a member institution. This application simplifies the application process and eliminates duplications. Many universities and colleges may also request their own application in addition to the common app, so it's best that you check the rules of your specific college before starting the application process.
