Once you've decided where you'd like to apply, you can go to the most schools web sites and either apply online or download a paper copy.  Many of the following sites can be used to apply to a number of colleges and universities. The advantage of a mega-application site is that you enter your basic information once and the software then automatically places your data in all of your applications, while following the format required by each school. This can save you a lot of time. Choose the following based upon which one includes applications for the largest number of your schools. Remember, it's the content of your application rather than the format that results in an acceptance. Click on any of the links below for further information. The Common Application An online or downloadable application accepted by over 200 colleges and universities. Make certain you also complete the "supplement" that is required by many of the schools that use the Common Application.   Next Stop College This site is provided by the College Board and contains applications for 500 schools. Using data from your SAT registration it automatically fills in some of the information.    Apply! The grandfather of application software is now owned by The Princeton Review.   CollegeNet This site contains over 300 applications.   XAP Several state university systems use XAP to run their applications.   CollegeQuest Includes 200+ applications.    On-Line College Applications http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply_to_uc.html http://www.csumentor.edu/ http://www.commonapp.org/   More information about your California options is available from the California Postsecondary Education Commission.
