Common App is a nonprofit organization that connects applicants to a variety of colleges and universities across the 50 states and in 20 countries. Common App has made college admission more convenient for incoming freshman, allowing them to apply for multiple colleges through one application.

“Joining the Common App supports our mission by eliminating potential barriers and providing a convenient option for students to access our undergraduate admissions application,” said director of undergraduate admissions Jeff Hartman. “Not only does this partnership enhance the college search process for students, parents and counselors, but it also increases OSU’s national visibility.”

The application process, essay prompts, fee waiver options, admission requirements and deadlines all remain the same for both the standard application and the Common App. As of now, the Common App is not open to OSU transfer students.
