<p>My daugther just completed the common app and plans to submit that to the colleges that accept it (fortunately most on her list do). A friend who has a daughter in college and works at a college told me schools frown on the common app and will more readily accept a student who applies on their individual application. This is not what I have heard at the college information sessions we attended at the various school my D has looked at. So what do you advise? Use common app where they accept it or complete individual school app for each school? Thanks.</p>
<p>bump cuz i wanna no 2</p>
<p>When colleges accept the common application, they are required to treat it with the same amount of weight as their own application. Whether or not they do that in practice, especially subconsciously, is debatable, and no one here can conclusively answer that.</p>
