The new version will ask more detailed questions about language proficiency where students can check one of five options to describe their strongest abilities .. The application also once again have a word limit for the personal statement. Students will be asked to submit an essay that is between 250-500 words, which means students will have to be very concise in their essays.
Students will be happy to know that the Secondary School Report has changed a bit too – now your guidance counselor can add a letter of recommendation from some other school official who can better describe their strengths.
Fourty Eight (48) schools have joined the Common Application for the first this year, including University of Southern California and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; which bring the total number of schools using the common application to 460 schools.
High school students who want to see the new version online or see new member schools can do so now. The application process opened on August 1st.
