Application Systems
Many schools in the United States accept the
Common Application, through which students
are able to apply to multiple schools using one
application form. Some schools that accept
the Common App require additional school-
specific supplements. Other universities, notably,
the University of California (including all 9 UC
campuses) use separate application systems.
There is no limit to the number of universities
students may apply to, but each school charges
a separate application fee and applicants
shou l d budget acco rd i ng l y. The ave rage
application fee is approximately US$41 (HK$318).
It is recommended to apply to 6 to 8 universities.
招生系統
大部份的美國大學使用中央招生系統「Common
Application」。學生可以通過一份Common App表格申
請多所學校。有些使用Common App的學校需要同學遞
交補充表格。加州大學（包括加州大學的九所校園）等其
他學校使用不同的招生系統。
美國大學不限制申請數目，但是每所學校都有申
請費；申請者要作相應的預算。平均申請費用約US$41
（HK$318）。
我們建議申請6至8所大學。
