The Common App is used by more than 1,000 colleges and universities in the United States and around the world, including all of the Ivy League institutions. To apply via the Common App, candidates must write essays in response to the application’s essay prompts.
In addition, many schools require applicants to write essays in response to their own prompts; these are referred to as supplemental essays.
