August 1st marks the start of the application season for seniors with the opening of the Common Application. Nearly 900 schools use the Common App for their application process, allowing students to apply to multiple campuses through one platform. For California students, this means most of the private and out-of-state public colleges on their list will use the Common App.
Seniors, make some time this weekend to take the first step in your application journey by creating your Common App account.
