<p>I know some schools want more than just the common app, but how do I figure out if they do want the common app? Does it say somewhere on the websites?</p>
<p>On the colleges websites there is always a tab or link that says " admissions". When you click on it, there is further information about the application procedures and if they want supplemental</p>
<p>Also beginning Aug 1 you will be able to create a common app account and see through that one portal, for each school that accepts the common app, exactly what is required for a complete application. You could do that now for a preview, but some schools may make changes in the next app season, and your account will be purged at the end of the month, so don’t enter data without backing it up.</p>
