2026fall美本申請注意Common App改版升級！這些調(diào)整影響錄取

 

Common App（Common Application）是美本申請三大網(wǎng)申系統(tǒng)之一，8月1日，CA正式開放新申請季系統(tǒng)，這次改版直接影響寶子們的申請節(jié)奏，大家一定要提前吃透，搶占先機(jī)。

 

三大調(diào)整

 

1申請進(jìn)度更直觀

登錄后，首頁顯示申請材料完成進(jìn)度、院校遞交狀態(tài)?？稍趦x表盤直接處理任務(wù)，也能通過左側(cè)菜單欄操作，無需反復(fù)跳轉(zhuǎn)。比如“已遞交院校數(shù)量”“每所學(xué)校的完成情況”等關(guān)鍵信息，避免信息混亂。

 

2菜單名稱布局調(diào)整

原“Common APP”菜單改名為“My Common Application”，并移到“My Colleges”之前，優(yōu)先完成通用申請部分。每個版塊有進(jìn)度提示，綠色勾選即代表“已完成”，避免遺漏。（以下供參考請以正式開放為準(zhǔn)）

 

3院校管理跟進(jìn)狀態(tài)

在“My Colleges”中，左側(cè)欄直接顯示各校遞交狀態(tài)，可以查看申請院校的具體要求和完成進(jìn)度。“College search”功能也更便捷，點擊搜索即可了解院?；拘畔ⅲ绘I加入申請清單。

 

文書&附加信息新變化

 

1、附加信息問題擴(kuò)容

原“community disruption”問題升級為“challenges and circumstances”，覆蓋范圍更廣：從學(xué)習(xí)空間、設(shè)備網(wǎng)絡(luò)等資源問題，到社區(qū)動蕩、歧視經(jīng)歷、家庭變故等，都能在此說明。這意味著你有更多機(jī)會解釋成長中的特殊經(jīng)歷。

 

2、字?jǐn)?shù)限制收緊

大一新生的附加信息字?jǐn)?shù)從650字縮減至300字，轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請從3500字符減到1500字符。精簡的篇幅要求你更精準(zhǔn)地提煉核心內(nèi)容，避免冗余表達(dá)。
