Completing College Applications

  • ETS students on a college tour
    Online application through the "Common App"
    • The majority of colleges throughout the country accept applications through the online, Common Application portal. It is free to sign up for an account, and ETS students are able to recieve fee waivers to submit college applications through their participation in ETS (See your ETS advisor for information, as it can vary by college). See here for information on how to complete the Common App Do not pay for any college applications without talking to your ETS advisor first. 
       
  • Online application through the college website
    • This is less common; however some schools have their own online applications and are NOT on the Common App.
       
  • Paper Applications
    • This is also less common; however, yes, some colleges do still have paper applications!

Please remember, regardless as to how you you submit them, your ETS advisor is here to help complete applications for all the colleges on your list!
