The Common Application (Common App) is a single college application you can use to apply to many public and private colleges and universities. The Common App is an easy option to compile all your personal information, transcript, essays, recommendation letters, and more to submit to colleges, especially compared to filling out individual applications for each college or university.

The Michigan Assured Admission Pact (MAAP) is an agreement between ten participating public universities to admit all Michigan high school graduates who earned a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or above (4.0 scale). The hope is to encourage college enrollment by creating a uniform standard for admission and removing the uncertainty of the process.
The ten participating Michigan universities include Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University, Northern Michigan University, Oakland University, Saginaw Valley State University, University of Michigan-Dearborn, University of Michigan-Flint, and Wayne State University.
