Start Your College Applications via the Common App

Many U.S. universities accept applications through the Common Application (Common App)—a centralized platform used by over 900 colleges. It allows you to apply to multiple schools with one core application, saving you time and effort.

Your Task: Set Up and Complete Your Common App Profile

  1. Create your Common App account

    • Go to www.commonapp.org and click “Create an Account.”

    • Select “First Year Student” (or “Transfer Student” if applicable).

    • Use your recruiting email address so we can support you throughout the process.

  2. Complete the core application
    The Common App is divided into several sections:

    • Profile – Personal details

    • Family – Parent/guardian information

    • Education – All schools attended since 9th grade

    • Testing – SAT/ACT/TOEFL scores (if applicable)

    • Activities – Sports, volunteer work, creative or academic activities

    • Writing – A personal essay (250–650 words)

    • Courses & Grades – Only if required by the college

  3. Add universities in the “My Colleges” section

    • For each university, you’ll answer additional school-specific questions.

    • Upload transcripts and recommendation contact details where required.

    • Choose the appropriate application plan (Regular Decision, Early Action, etc.).

  4. Review and submit your applications

    • Double-check all information before submitting.

    • Pay the application fee (or check with us to see if it’s covered by your package).

📌 Tip: Start by submitting to a less important college first to catch any mistakes before sending to your top choices.

Once your Common App profile is set up, let us know so we can assist you with reviewing your entries and preparing documents.

Best,
