The Common Application is Becoming Commonplace

Monday, April 14th, 2008

So you finally narrowed your choice of colleges to seven schools and now you are dreading filling out all of these college applications. The thought of writing seven different college admissions essays and getting seven envelopes and stamps makes you cringe.

Well, colleges have caught on to the fact that applying to college is stressful enough and have decided to cut applicants some slack - at least when it comes to the college application form.

Two general admissions and application forms, the Common Application and the Universal College Application, are gaining momentum. That means you can apply to different colleges but you only need to fill out one form, write one admissions essay and send your application to a variety of colleges and programs with the click of one button.

SAT vs. ACT Test: Find the Right Match for You!

Friday, March 14th, 2008

The SAT test and the ACT test are very different, so we’ve compiled some of the differences between the two tests. You didn’t used to have to search college info to see which tests were required. Colleges on the coast tended to favor SAT scores while colleges in the Midwest or South generally accepted ACT scores.

Today, the lines have been blurred and choosing which test to take is not so clear-cut. Most colleges now accept both SAT and ACT test scores. Colleges are also adopting a new trend, as some schools are de-emphasizing the admissions test requirement altogether.

So with all these new developments, there are tons of options. First, check out CampusCompare’s admissions criteria on the college profile page of your choice to see which test is required (if any). And if the college accepts both tests, then no need to get your stomach in knots (especially if you are not in the test room just yet!).

Here is CampusCompare’s cheat sheet: the difference between the two tests to help you ace the one you take!
