SUNY application vs Common App

[Hilltopmom]

Has anyone here used the SUNY application rather than the Common App?

I keep hearing all these horror stories about the online Common App for the guidance counselor (me).

 

Wondering if the SUNY one is easier?-

It looks like ds will be applying to just SUNY schools.

 

(I know that SUNYs are not always homeschool friendly, but the ones he has talked to have been & the admissions people I've talked to have been welcoming of a homeschool applicant & not asked for anything extra, other than our super's letter)

 

Thanks

Well, I didn't have any problem with the counselor section of the common app.

 

I had a transcript, course descriptions, school profile, and counselor recommendation ready and sent it all to both schools that used the common app (through the app) as well as other schools.
