<p>Many great colleges, such as the ivies, and other great colleges started to use the common application, and i was wondering if there is any great school that will take other forms of application besides common application by year 2009.</p>
<p>Most schools give you the option of using the Common App or their own app.</p>
<p>I looked briefly yesterday but I did not see Brown, MIT, U of Chicago and Harvard University, except I do see Harvard College, are they the same?</p>
<p>U of Chicago is going to the common ap next year, I think. </p>
<p>Harvard uses the common ap, and are also going to use the universal ap.</p>
<p>My son is applying ea to Caltech and MIT. If he gets accepted at either, he wont apply anywhere else. This means he will have filled out the common ap for just one school.</p>
<p>Columbia doesn't use the commonapp, I think. Neither does Brown, MIT, or UChicago.</p>
<p>University of Florida doesn't</p>
<p>What do you have against the common app?</p>
<p>For some schools, the application is similar to the common app, but with a different interface. Chicago's interface is not only different, but its essay questions are pretty bonkers. (You are allowed to write your own, though). It pretty much warns the public that we're a crazy school :-)</p>
<p>I seem to remember that some schools use common app but have very distinctive supplements. JHU has their $10 question and I seem to remember that Amherst's also require a good deal of thought and planning.</p>
<p>U of Michigan doesn't use the common app.</p>
<p>Notre Dame</p>
<p>georgetown i think?</p>
<p>the original question was "great school that will take other forms of application besides common application" not, "great school that will not take common app"</p>
<p>Thus, Princeton.</p>
<p>For some of us who only read the title

:o</p>
<p>Georgetown definitely does not use the common app.</p>
<p>so good schools such as harvard and yale offers both their own application and common?</p>
<p>Harvard has its own application, but it cannot be submitted on-line. It has, however, joined the Universal Application group, which is a competitor to the Common App.</p>
<p>Yale uses only the Common App electronically.</p>
<p>You should take a look at the colleges' websites to see what they require.</p>
<p>any application that doesn't ask if you've been suspended?</p>
<p>You'll have to look at the application for each school that you're interested in. You need to do some of your own research for a question that specific.</p>
