(National Association of Secondary School Principals) If you click on http://commonapp you will find the Common College Application form listed. This is the recommended form of 181 selective, independent colleges and universities for admission to their undergraduate programs. Many of these institutions use the form exclusively. All give equal consideration to the Common Application and the college's own form. Experience with the Common Application over a period of 20 years has demonstrated its advantages to students, counselors, and teachers. The concept is simple: Students complete one Common Application, photocopy it, and send the form to any of the participating colleges. The procedure simplifies the college application process and eliminates duplication of effort. To simplify the procedure even more, you can now download the Common Application!
