Can’t verify
I’m having such time in my life trying to sign in but I can’t verify my school email because it doesn’t get external emails. I was originally going to switch my school email but I couldn’t because my personal email was on my phone and I couldn’t have it out. So I contacted a support and after 50 hours, I had nothing. This isn’t a game!If your support crew can’t handle anything, why does this app even exist besides using it for college?

Truly horrible, even worse customer service
The Common App is unhelpful, inflexible, and outdated. Their method of making students send a message out to access customer service is ineffective as they don't respond. Simple mistakes are not properly handled and overall my journey with this app has been stress-inducing and nerve-wracking. I wouldn't recommend this to a student who desperately needs to complete their college apps as any road bumps are not tended to. Decisions as simple as not locking students into verification, responding to messages, or giving a number of contacts could help enormously. Many students have complained about the outdated system of this program and yet their opinions have been neglected. Use at your own risk.

A waste of time
When I tried to create an account, it said there was already an account in the system, when I go to check for an account, there’s nothing. When I go to login into an account, it keeps saying the account information is wrong. this is ridiculous and a waste of my time. Never again
DO NOT USE!!
I got rejected from Harvard but my mom was going to let me attend anyway. I had a great gpa and asvab test score and only 1 in school suspension. Triible app. SCAM BEWARE!!
Don’t use this app
This sucks. I applied to 3 colleges in one day on their specific websites, and the common app has taken 5 weeks and I haven’t finished. I do NOT recommend using this for college apps. It’s better through respective websites.
