Class of 2024

Welcome Class of 2024!

Congrats! You've been dreaming for years about what you'll do after you graduate, and this is the year you'll take on many critical steps to kick-off your dreams into reality.

College Application Platforms

There are several different online platforms through which universities accept applications: ApplyTexas, CommonApp, and Questbridge. All of these platforms allow students to create a centralized college application and use it to apply to several colleges, saving time. Each online application approach includes an applicant profile, list of member colleges, checklist to see the status of the applications, and application requirements; but the overall look and formatting differs.

Students will have the opportunity to use whichever application platform desired.
