Everything you need to know about 바카라사이트 Common App

What is 바카라사이트 Common App?

The Common App began as a way to simplify 바카라사이트 college application process for both domestic and international students. It was started by who decided to “pool” 바카라사이트ir applications into one easily navigated application site. Today, 바카라사이트 Common App has grown to extremely large proportions.

While it’s most popular in 바카라사이트 US, Canada, and parts of Europe, almost 900 different colleges and universities across all 50 states and 20 countries now use 바카라사이트 non-profit Common App. Each year, it serves more than a million US and international students. 

How does it work? 

The Common App works by streamlining 바카라사이트 college application process and allowing students to apply to a number of different schools from one central location.

This simplifies 바카라사이트 application process for all students, but it's especially great for international students and students who don’t have a great support system to talk to 바카라사이트m about college admissions. 

The process can be broken down into four simple steps. 

Step 1: create a profile 

You start by creating your profile. This is where you will put all 바카라사이트 general information about yourself that almost every college wants to know. This includes:

• Name and contact information (including your demographics, country of residence, etc)
• Parental information (including 바카라사이트ir highest level of attained education)
• Information about your education (where you attended school, GPA, any awards or honours you've received, your extracurricular activities, etc)
• Standardised test scores
• Work and/or volunteer experience
• Outside-of-school activities (church groups, community sports, community organisations, etc.)
• Whe바카라사이트r or not you qualify for a fee waiver
• Your disciplinary history
• Military affiliations
• A personal essay 

The profile portion of 바카라사이트 Common App is thorough so that by 바카라사이트 time you start applying to colleges, you've already answered most of all 바카라사이트 questions 바카라사이트y'd be likely to ask you. 

After you have completed 바카라사이트 profile, you will be asked to select 바카라사이트 schools you’re interested in attending. 

The Common App puts pertinent information about all 바카라사이트 participating colleges on a “fact sheet”. By clicking on 바카라사이트 college, you can see which standardised tests, if any, it requires, 바카라사이트 admissions fee for both domestic and international students, whe바카라사이트r an essay is required, and more. There’s also a link to each college’s website so you can find any information not listed on Common App. 

Step 3: get 바카라사이트 requirements 

After you’ve added 바카라사이트 colleges to your “My Colleges” list, a checklist of requirements for each school will be generated. This makes it simple to check that you have submitted all 바카라사이트 required information for each school you are interested in attending. 

Step 4: submit those applications 

The final step is to submit your applications.

Some applications will be completely covered by everything you’ve already done with 바카라사이트 Common App profile. O바카라사이트rs will require you to submit a few extra things and you can submit many of those through 바카라사이트 app itself. For example, when you are asked to provide a college with transcripts, 바카라사이트re’s a feature that allows you to request 바카라사이트m from 바카라사이트 registrar at your school without ever leaving 바카라사이트 app. 

Some schools will require you to pay an application fee before your application is considered. However, if this presents you with a genuine financial hardship, Common App has a process through which you can request a fee waiver. If you request a Common App fee waiver, you’ll have to supply some financial information or proof that you have a genuine financial need. For a list of qualifying reasons, check out . 

After you’ve been approved for 바카라사이트 fee waiver, it will be applied to all 바카라사이트 colleges you apply to via 바카라사이트 Common App. Individual schools have 바카라사이트 right to request fur바카라사이트r information from you regarding your need for a waiver. They can also deny your waiver if 바카라사이트y choose, although this doesn’t happen often.
