 More than 40 years ago, a small group of colleges and universities got together to reimagine the
college application process. One application, 15 forward-thinking institutions. What began as an experiment to simplify the admissions process has evolved into a global college access movement.
 
Today, Common App is a non-profit membership organization representing more than 1,000 diverse
institutions of higher education connecting applicants and those who support them to a wide array
of public and private colleges and universities across all 50 U.S. states, and 20 countries.
