The Common Application

from Cappex.com

In the past, students had to fill out individual application for each college to which they applied. In many cases, each application asks for the same basic information. Therefore, when a student applied to multiple colleges, it became a repetitive and tedious task and oftentimes, discouraged students from exploring all their options.  The Common Application, www.commonapp.org offers students the ability to apply to multiple colleges using one basic form. The goal is to save students time. This site allows students to enter basic information that many college require — like high school name, GPA and test scores — once for multiple applications.  This site gives a listing of all the colleges that accept the Common Application.
