how does the common app work?

<p>i'm confused on how it works....i went to the website and I got confused even more....how does it work?</p>

<p>What exactly are you not getting? Could you perhaps be a little bit more specific with your question.</p>

<p>nvm...i see how it works now..but do colleges look at it any worse because you used the commonapp...stupid question but just wondering</p>

<p>No, every college much view it equally to their own application or else the common app organization will not allow them in the program since it's part of their contract.</p>

<p>So many high school seniors end up doing much more work than they need to because of the misconception that colleges will think you're more interested in them if you fill out their app instead of the common app. Nothing can be further from the truth, so long as they get an app from you, whether theirs or common, online or paper, they'll be satisfied.</p>
