<p>Which of the top schools fit into which of the categories? I can't seem to find out this from the schools' websites. The common app website makes it seem that, for Harvard at least, it is not "common app exclusive," but I can't find an actual Harvard application on the Harvard website. It'd be a great help if anyone could show me somewhere that has a list of this type.</p>
<p>I don't know if such a list exists, but I think it's much more reasonable to find out about the colleges you're looking for on the college websites. If they have their own application, it'll be on the website. </p>
<p>MIT has only its own app
Stanford, Dartmouth, and Cornell use the common app w/ supplements</p>
<p>Common App only
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Cornell
Dartmouth</p>
<p>Own App only
MIT</p>
<p>Both Apps
Princeton</p>
<p>We probably should also create a list for the Universal App.</p>
<p>Haha I laughed when I got directed to the Universal App page. It seems like a copy of the Common App... it was so cute.</p>
<p>Columbia doesn't use the common app.. so I guess that would mean it uses its own app?</p>
<p>JHU uses the common app and has their own app.</p>
<p>I was JUST about to say what frutiaspice said. =]</p>
<p>Here's my list please tell me which use which
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
columbia
Cornell
NYU(stern maybe)
UC Berkeley
UCLA
Washington U
UVA
UMichigan
University of Pennsylvania
UNC
Duke</p>
<p>might seem like a long list but i have some time to narrow it down</p>
<p>It tells you on their web sites ... time to do your research</p>
<p>Go to the Common Application website. Click on the link at the top of the page that says "Member Colleges" - at the bottom of the pull down menu for that link you will see a list of "Exclusive Members." Voila. Problem solved.</p>
<p>U of Virginia just announced it will start accepting the Common Application this fall. </p>
<p>However, the University of California, University of North Carolina, and U of Michigan do not use the Common Application. You must apply to those schools using their own individual applications, which you can find through their websites. </p>
<p>After you finalize your list, it's a really good idea to go to each college's admissions website and read the information about application requirements and proceedures very carefully. Each school has its own requirements, for instance, about which subject tests and how many recommendations you'll need to submit and a host of other nit-picky details individual to each school. While you can find some of the basic information on the Common App site for those who use it, it is always a good idea to read the actual admissions website of every school you plan to apply to with a fine-tooth comb so you avoid mistakes and missed deadlines. Good luck!</p>
<p>why doesnt all f^%^ing schools use the same app. and save everyone the trouble</p>
