Years ago, I was pleased to hear about a common application for college that allowed students to fill in information that would be the same for multiple colleges on the common application. Then individual schools could request any other information required by the institution. Over the years, they have made improvements to the common application based on feedback from students, counselors, and college admissions offices. This year they will be adding integration with Google Apps, the ability to self-report courses and grades, and Spanish language support. According to the report, one of their goals is to make college entrance more accessible by making the process more user-friendly. Several videos, presentations, and webinars will be made available on the changes.
