When does the common app open for 2022-2023
|
The Common App’s simplified, streamlined, all-in-one college application system has proven to be an effective platform for college-bound students—both first-year and transfer—to search and apply to multiple participating schools all from one location. In their latest blog posts, Common App announced pivotal changes both in adding even more member institutions for prospective students to connect with and in making the college application process more inclusive, respectful, and accommodating for all applicants.

Here are the most recent changes to Common App: Over 50 New Colleges And Universities Added For The 2022-2023 Application SeasonIn April of this year, Common App reported that over 50 new colleges and universities have been added to their list of participating schools for the 2022-2023 application cycle. Notably, more than 20 of these new schools are those which are Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). The newest additions, in particular, help serve the Common App’s goal in “lowering the logistical and systemic barriers to college access. Students and colleges will both benefit from a larger, more diverse, and more inclusive Common App.” To view the Common App’s newest member institutions, check out here and here. Common App: 1,000+ Participating Schools To Choose FromCurrently, Common App boasts over 1,000 (including US and international) partner schools for college-bound students to choose from. All participating schools follow the same streamlined application process for both first-year and transfer college students. That said, be sure to advise your students to pay close attention to the guidelines outlined by each school; there are bound to be different requirements (i.e., test scores, supplemental materials) as well as application waivers and fees.

Common App noted that their most recent survey shows that “over 95% of [responders] agree that the [current] prompts spark effective essays.” Basically, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Common App: Changes to Personal Descriptor QuestionsIn July 2021, we made note of a number of significant changes made or being made to the Common App background questions. Citizenship and ethnicity questions became optional for applicants; family questions (e.g., questions regarding parents and siblings) became voluntary; and gender-related questions were updated to be more inclusive to all students. Last year we saw first-year and transfer students given the option of noting their preferred names and pronouns. Taken a step further, in March of 2022 Common App announced that starting with the 2022-2023 application season, all applicants would have even more options to choose from when answering questions pertaining to gender. For example, Common App has added the gender-neutral options of “Mx.” and “other” in addition to choosing “legal” in order to appropriately label an applicant’s first or given name. Another important change to Common App is questions regarding fee waivers will now include the list of eligibility criteria, so that students and families are provided with a clear understanding of what qualifies students for available fee waivers. Common App has also simplified many of the fee waiver questions so that they are now simple “yes/no” answers. Common App reported that changes to the fee waiver questions were prompted when: “Common App research [identified] nearly 39,000 first-year applicants who were likely eligible for the Common App fee waiver, but did not request one. Another 55,000 likely-qualified students may have abandoned an application all together [sic] because of fee-related fears.” These changes play a huge role in making the Common App’s already simplified, streamlined application process more inclusive, considerate, and accommodating for students from all backgrounds.

(PRWEB) August 02, 2022 Today, Common App launched the 2022-2023 application season with more than 1,000 colleges and universities. Used by more than three million applicants, teachers, and counselors every year, the Common App platform streamlines the college application process, providing resources and guidance to make college more accessible for students around the world. In addition to providing a single, online application and 24/7/365 support for all students applying to member colleges and universities, Common App connects applicants to a mobile app, financial aid and scholarship information, online portfolios, and a vast library of counselor resources available in English and Spanish. “Common App started as an experiment in 1975 with 15 colleges, led by college admission officers and school counselors to streamline the admission process for students,” said Jenny Rickard, President & CEO of Common App. “Nearly 50 years later, we are so excited to kick off the 2022-2023 application season with more than 1,000 colleges and universities for students to explore. Our goal remains the same: We want all students to feel supported by Common App -- regardless of where they are in their journey. We want to provide the tools and resources to help more students get to and through college.” "As a small, private faith-based school in NYC, our students value our community, diversity and a unique learning environment. We look forward to joining Common App and providing students with an easy way to launch into their educational journey," said Katherine Dell'Aiera, Associate Director of Central Admissions at Nyack College & Alliance Theological Seminary. Students applying to college in 2022-2023 will also have access to nearly 70 new colleges and universities. More than 20 of the new members to Common App are Minority-serving Institutions (MSIs). In 2021, Common App launched an initiative to increase member representation of Minority-serving Institutions. Under this program, MSI membership has grown significantly, with the highest number of MSIs joining between 2021-2022. As universities aim to increase on-campus diversity, Common App’s MSI Program aims to help connect MSIs with well-qualified candidates who are historically underserved. Core to Common App’s mission is supporting those who support students. Today’s launch also includes the expansion of Common App’s integration platform, which enables third-party software developers to seamlessly integrate their products with Common App. Transeo, which helps schools transform their student readiness by tracking and reporting service, workplace learning and graduation plans,
will be available for recommenders beginning in the 2022-2023 application season. Transeo joins our existing college counseling platforms supported through this integration service, including:
