So my friend just told me that you have to apply to colleges using some 10 page paper that you fill everything out, but I thought you just apply online through different websites like common app and stuff. Does anybody know which is the right way?
Thanks
Most schools take common app, but most schools also have supplement essays (which are also available via common app). Your friend is messing with you.
That used to be how people back in the day applied to colleges. Now most people just do it online
Most places use the common app. Even if they don’t though, they usually have an online app. You probably won’t end up applying anywhere that uses paper.
