The Common Application is a platform used by many colleges and universities to streamline the college application process. With the Common App, students can fill out one application and submit it to multiple schools. The Common App includes sections for personal information, academic record, extracurricular activities, and essays.

To get started with the Common App, students should create an account on the Common App website. They will need to provide basic personal information, such as their name and address, as well as their academic record and test scores. Students can then select the schools to which they want to apply and fill out the relevant sections of the application.

It's important to note that not all schools accept the Common App, so students should check the application requirements for each school they are interested in.
