Streamlines the college application process

Common App is an education and reference web application developed by a non-profit membership organization that represents roughly about 900 various institutions of higher education. This online platform allows students to experience a simplified college application process that is, as much as possible, accessible for all. On top of that, it provides student applicants with financial aid, scholarship information, virtual fairs, online portfolios, and an enormous collection of counselor resources that is both available in English and Spanish

Common space for all

This educational web app was started by a small group of colleges and universities who envisioned and worked together to streamline the admission process in a single online application—which also offers all day and night support for students. It is equipped with up-to-date and easy-to-use resources that could greatly help a lot of families to support their students with the procedure of applying to various universities. It gives important information regarding application fees, scholarships, and financial aids.

Whether freshmen applicants or transferee students, this platform requires little to no learning curve as it displays guides for both cases, which leads the pupils in every stride of college admissions. The guides are presented in coherent steps with visual video demonstrations of each procedure. With its improved recommender system and transfer application personal statement prompt that will align with first-year application essay prompts, the students can expect an even better user experience.

Common App partnered with Reach Higher—a college access initiative that was established by former First Lady Michelle Obama. It empowers this web application to provide more valuable advice from counselors and recommenders that could inspire more people to complete their education and decide which path to take. There’s a Common App Ready toolkit available for these educators in order for them to give the best tips and practices to successfully finish the college applications within the standard time.

Be college-ready

Considering the tertiary level is the highest educational institution for a student to finish, it is definitely complicated to start with. However, it is an essential part of your education—as unlike with your elementary and secondary education that teaches general knowledge, this degree requires you to focus on one field that you want to specialize in. Thus, platforms like the Common App are fundamental since it’s like a one-stop-shop for all your college education needs. From financial aid and scholarship to a vast library of counselor resources, it has it all.
