Are you thinking about applying to a private or out-of-state university? In 2025, over 1.3 million students used the Common Application to apply to colleges. The Common App is an undergraduate college application that students may use to apply to more than 840 different colleges and universities in the US, Canada, China, Japan, and various European countries.

Please register for our workshop to learn more about the Common App and how your student can rise to the top of the applicant pool by avoiding common mistakes that could derail their application.

This workshop will be led by Jon McNamara. As the former Head of Admissions at a Bay Area coding school, Jon specializes in guiding students through the college application process, with a focus on personalized support and open dialogue with students and their families.
