<p>Coming from the Uk where you are only allowed to apply to 5 universities and you apply through an online system similar to common app. but without having to submit supplements to apply to college in the states is a far more challenging task. </p>
<p>Whilst saying this I don't believe that there should be such a thing in the states as a common app. I think by completing the universities own application one is able to see the applicants comittment to college, their college</p>
