Question

I was reviewing my Common App and saw some offers for direct admissions. Could someone explain to me what those are?

Answer 1

Common App? what is that?

Answer 2

Okay so I personally don't use that site but I managed to find this through googling -

"Direct admissions bridges the gap between high school and higher education by proactively admitting students into college before they apply. Offers are based on data – like GPA – that students have entered into their Common App. This is one of our efforts to simplify and streamline the admissions process.

Students who receive direct admissions offers feel relieved and more confident because a college extended an offer based on some of their Common App responses. This offer lets students learn more about the college, decide if it’s a good fit, and then submit their Common App."

So basically its a school offering you admission before you even applied based on the information you put into the app.
