The Common Application: What a deal!
The Common Application is a great aid in the college admissions process. Large university systems such as the UC system, the Cal State system, and NYU use one application, which can then be sent to each of its schools. The Common Application allows that same ease of application with almost 500 mostly private schools. One application, one essay, from a list of choices, a one-to-two page supplement for each individual school, and you are pretty much set. Everything you need is in one place, lists of participating schools, all necessary forms, instructions about what to do, and a check list for getting things done. Each college or university also has their own application/admissions site, with an application, should you choose to use it, but why would you? On the Common Application site, you can fill out one application, paste in your essay, and send it off to the schools of your choice. From the list of participating schools, you can see which require a short supplemental essay, and fill out the additional short supplemental application, if required. The Common Application Web Site has Academic Rec forms, midyear reports, counselor forms, everything required by the (mostly) private schools that participate in this program.
