The Common Application is a not-for-profit, member organization committed to the pursuit of access, equity, and integrity in the college admission process.
Forty years ago, 15 institutions of higher education got to discover a way for a student to complete one application for many. This "Common Application Experiment" has changed the course of college admissions forever.
Now Common App works with over 800 diverse college and universities across the world. More than 1 million students use the Common App EVERY YEAR and one- third of them are first-generation. Listen to this and students from all over the world will submit over 4 million applications.
