Today, the University of Evansville joins 48 other new members of the Common Application consortium. This is a worldwide group of 462 colleges and universities that accept the “Common App,†a single online or paper form that streamlines the process of applying to multiple schools.
“Most institutions see an increase in undergraduate applications when they begin accepting the Common 
App. This move increases UE’s visibility by including us in a list of schools searched by prospective students around the world,†said Don Vos, UE dean of admission. “It also eases the application process for high school seniors, allowing them to dedicate more time to essay writing, coursework, college research and visits, and other priorities rather than filling out multiple applications.â€
The first UE students to be affected by the change will be the class of 2012-13. Students applying to UE may choose between the Common App and the University’s own application, available online at www.evansville.edu/admission. Both choices require an essay as part of the admission process.
Last year, almost 2 million applications were submitted via the Common App Online. For more information or to apply to the University of Evansville, visit www.commonapp.org.
