Many high school seniors are busy starting to fill out the Common Application but did you know there is an alternative online college application out there?
The Universal College Application is now used by 61 colleges and universities including Harvard, Duke, and Washington University. One element that sets the UCA apart from the Common Application is the ability to link to online content such as a YouTube Video, a news article or website. This is a great feature for students looking to submit a portfolio with their application.
The Universal College Application went live on July 29th and is now accepting applications for 2011-12.
