What is the Common App?
Many colleges accept the Common Application for undergraduate or graduate programs. The website www.commonapp.org offers a location to store and organize information needed for the college application process.
While the majority of schools partner with the Common App to make submissions easier, some are housed on a similar, but alternate site called the Coalition Application. Some schools will only accept submissions through their own websites.
JBG can help guide you through the application process.
