Common App Direct Admissions Program
Common App Direct Admissions is a new program that is streamlining the path to higher education, and it opens doors to educational opportunities that may have seemed out of reach.
What is it?
Common App Direct Admissions is an initiative that offers automatic admission to select state colleges and universities for students who meet certain criteria. These criteria typically include academic performance, financial need, and first-generation status. Students who sign up for Common App and provide basic information are automatically matched with state colleges and universities that offer direct admission based on their profile.
Who is it for?
This program is designed for students who may need more resources or guidance to navigate the traditional application process. By lowering the barriers to entry, Common App Direct Admissions aims to increase college enrollment and completion rates for underrepresented groups.
Why is it important?
Higher education is the bedrock for social mobility and economic opportunity. Unfortunately, the college application process can be a major bottleneck for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Common App Direct Admissions addresses this issue by removing the financial and logistical burden of applying to multiple state colleges. This not only saves students time and money but also gives them a straightforward and accessible path to a college education.
