The online application system helps applicants to complete the original complicated application process at one time (such as submitting high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, papers, etc.). ). The details are as follows: 456 American universities that applied for CommonApp in the fall of 20 12 began to accept applications as early as August of 1 year. The online application system of CommonApp set a new record in the application season of 2010-201,with 578,000 people using the system, up by18% year-on-year; A total of 2.4 million applications were completed, a year-on-year increase of 24%; 5.4 million school forms were submitted, a year-on-year increase of 100%. By August 5th, 20 1 1, 1796, the applicants had started to take action, and more importantly, 3 173 applications had been submitted, up by 3 1% year-on-year. Therefore, every applicant needs to start preparing as soon as possible, and the paperwork and online application should be carried out simultaneously, keeping a good pace and ensuring the effective and orderly application.

Since 20 13, some changes have taken place in the application system of CommonApp in American universities. Specific changes include the following:

1, the number of words required for a large composition has changed, and it has been compressed to less than 500 words. This further puts forward the writing requirements of the essay, which needs to be handled carefully.

2. Applicants can log in to American universities through smart phones and apply for the CommonApp system online to check the status.

3. The new universal American online application system was launched on August 1. Prior to this, it was usually opened in August 15. Obviously, the increasing number of international students has prompted the general system to make some timely changes to cope with the increasing number of students.

The list of schools has been expanded. After Columbia University and Michigan University joined the CommonApp system last year, the University of Southern California and the University of North Carolina stayed this year. Applicants who are familiar with USC and UNC should clearly know that the composition content and writing in these two schools are more complicated. After adopting the common system, it will bring some convenience to the applicants. Therefore, after 48 new universities adopted the universal system this year, 456 universities in the United States adopted the universal system to apply. Among the top 20 universities, only MIT and MIT are adopting their own systems, while other universities are adopting general systems.

It is suggested that well-prepared students should start applying for online applications from American universities as soon as possible, especially those who have achieved good results in standardized English tests, such as TOEFL, IELTS, SAT or ACT. Try to choose the early admission plan (EA or ED), and complete the online application before 10/1. If you are not fully prepared, or the time of standardized examination is inconsistent with the time required by ed/EA, but you want to improve the admission rate through early admission, then some schools have opened the second phase of ED.

The above is an analysis of the changes in the online application system for undergraduate students in the United States, which students who intend to apply for undergraduate courses in the United States can understand and master.
