US Schools Offering Common & Online Applications

What's Here? Common Applications； Online Applications

Many state university systems in the USA have a single-common application for both undergraduate and graduate programs.Common applications help to simplify the application process, helping a student apply to multiple campuses with only one application.

When applying to more than one university in a particular state, it's often helpful to check to see whether the program you're applying to uses the common application or has its own individual application.Some university systems in the USA which use common applications are:

The California State University
The University of California
The State University of New York
The Minnesota State Colleges & Universities
The North Dakota University System
The Texas Public University System
The University System of Maryland
The University of Wisconsin System
The University of North Carolina System
The University of Illinois System

Many of the above university systems use an online application system.While many university systems use online applications, so do many independent public and private universities.Here are some other sites where you can find common college and university applications, making the application process for US schools simpler than ever:

• CollegeNet (provides over 1500 customized Internet admissions applications built for college and university programs.When applying to more than one program you save redundant typing since common data automatically travels from form to form.)
• CommonApp.org (the application used here is accepted by a large number of very selective private US colleges and universities)
