<p>I'm really confused. Is there any benefit to using the schools online app? I'm going to apply to 5+ schools, so the common app seems better suited.</p>
<p>All schools which accept the common app must pledge that there is no disadvantage to using it. I think you can believe them. My S was accepted to a top school using the common app plus their supplement, instead of their own transfer app.</p>
<p>i used the common app too and was admitted.</p>
<p>I just found out only TWO schools I'm applying to accept it... still worth using it?</p>
