| Message to current seniors from Common App:
This month we launched a new year of Common App Direct Admissions, with 117 participating colleges. This program simplifies the college application process by offering eligible first-generation, low- and middle-income students admission based on the information they’ve entered into their Common App—before they even apply. Students can view, learn about, and act on these offers directly from their Common App dashboard. Many colleges waive application requirements, like the personal essay, or guarantee financial aid, making the process even more accessible. To help students better understand how it works, we’ve released a brand-new video on our YouTube channel that explains Common App Direct Admissions. If a student is interested in an offer, they can submit a free, non-binding application, and colleges will verify their information and send an official acceptance letter. With direct admissions, students feel welcomed and valued, giving them a head start on their college journey. |
