It’s going to be easier for students to apply to multiple state universities this fall.
Three schools currently use the common application, letting students apply to a bunch of colleges at once. Governor JB Pritzker says more are coming online.
“Illinois will have all of its public universities join the one-stop shop national application portal making it that much easier for our students applying to an in-state campus.”
This will make Illinois one of only two states to have all state universities using the common app. Many private schools use the common app as well.
