An increasing number of students from first-generation and low-income backgrounds are applying to colleges. This trend is highlighted by a recent report from Common App, a widely used online application platform.
The report reveals that 1.5 million students submitted over 10.7 million applications during the 2025-2026 academic year. This represents a 6 percent rise compared to the previous cycle.
Despite ongoing debates about the value and relevance of higher education in America, the demand for university admissions remains strong.
