Information For Students Doing the Common Application
What is the Common App:
Common App is a non-profit college access organization that helps students apply to college every year. Common App’s free college application tool is designed to make applying to college faster and easier. With Common App you only need to use one system to apply to multiple colleges and universities. There are two main parts you fill out: a set of common questions and each college’s own specific questions. The best part is you only have to fill out the common questions one time. The Common App is a hub of information that can guide you through each step of the application journey. It’s also a resource that connects you with financial aid and scholarship opportunities.
The following are some key information points for IUHS diploma students:
