Design Goal
Simplify the complex and daunting task of applying to anyof our 520+ members so that, at any point in time, a 17-
year-old first-time user will quickly, easily, and intuitively
understand—simultaneously—how to complete thesmallest task and how to navigate the entire application
process for multiple member colleges within the Common Application.

Test Optional/Flexible Colleges
• Once an application is submitted, a student can return to the
app and edit it for future submissions to other colleges.
• Student can return to the testing page and change testing
response to “No, I do not wish to self-report” OR keep the
response as “Yes” but elect to report a different set of tests.
• Answering “No” or electing to report a different set of tests will
hide – but not erase – any tests a student may have entered
previously.
• Any tests/scores entered into a previously submitted application
can be retrieved by changing the testing response back to “Yes.”
