I’m kinda confused on one aspect of the college application process. This might sound stupid but how do you apply to a specific school in a college (as a high schooler)? For example: I want to undergrad in NYU Stern/BC’s Caroll School of Management. Would I just apply directly to NYU or is there a special process for Stern? Or does it vary from college to college?
Have you looked at the CommonApp yet?
For universities that require your application to be specific to a particular ‘school’ or major, they will have questions on their unique part of the CA that addresses that.
Varies from university to university. Common app and the school website will tell you what you need to know.
Thanks for the helpful replies. I’ll check out the info on the common app.
FYI - some Universities don’t have you apply directly to a “major” or “school”. So, check the websites for clarification. Then the CommonApp will be where you indicate your choice (if you can).
