<p>So I am not too computer savey so i am not so sure if this question has been answered, but i was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between doing the common app or the college app. I know most schools take the common app and then also have a supplement, but why do they somethimes also have their own application that you can do instead of the common app??</p>
<p>There are 300 schools that accept the common application. The same application works in all 300 schools, obviously. Apparently some schools must not feel that the common application is an adequate assessment of prospective students, so they have their own. </p>
<p>The common application and a school's application cover pretty much the same information, perhaps in a different format, and there may be different essay questions. </p>
<p>Hope this helped.</p>
<p>ThAnKs!!! :)</p>
