Common Application
The
Common Application program, administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (National Association of Secondary School Principals, n.d.), is an
effort to develop a standard
application form for admission to
colleges and
universities in the United States. Institutions that accept the form do so by
choice, and they are required—or at least
advised—to give
equal consideration to applicants using the form, as they do to applicants who use a
proprietary form.
As of 27 December 2003, the Common Application web site states there are 241 colleges and universities participating in the program.
