Ratings and reviews

Although a nice app, I'm unsatisfied with only 20 colleges you can apply to. Why limited applicants to that? I was told to keep us from applying to every school...but if your denied, or need to change schools you can't do it if you submit application. I think that's dumb. It's not like actual paperwork is being thumbed through. Get with the times or another app will take your place.

A great app and a great platform. The only issue is the format for adding Accuplacer scores. My scores were not segregated into the categories shown on Common App for the Accuplacer test, so I couldn't enter my marks. Please update the format or provide more information on how to enter the scores in 2022.

Works great but the deadlines should correspond with what's seen on the school site and the recommendation process should be made easier for recommenders. They should be able to write their letter on the app and not have to write and upload from somewhere else, that's unnecessary stress. Apart from that, works great so far.

What's new

A small maintenance release to keep things humming along smoothly.
