2016年7月，根据世界各地申请者的各种反馈，common申请系统对接下来2016-2017年的大学申请做出了十大改进，让小编带你一起看看是什么样的调整与改进吧~！
Gender Identity. The label of the sex question has changed to “sex assigned at birth” with an information button letting students know that they'll have the opportunity to share additional details regarding their gender identity within the application. Once your students are in their application, they will see an added optional short answer question in the Profile section asking if they would like to share more.
性别确认项：此次性别选择会加上问题描述：“出生时记录的性别”，如果有关于性别的特殊说明，可以在附加描述中加上。
Search for colleges by: application fee, writing requirements, test requirements, and recommendation requirements. These new options will appear along with the current and existing criteria that students can already search by.
根据申请费、写作要求、考试要求和推荐人要求搜索学校：这些新的搜索选项都会在新系统中出现，大家可以根据自己的需要更方便快捷的来搜索学校。
Auto Save in the Application and Recommendation systems. System will actively save the open section every 90 seconds. Also, clicking “Upload” saves questions in the section the student is working in automatically. And while working on a long answer or essay, the Save occurs automatically if your student times out while editing a long answer in full screen mode.
申请和推荐系统自动保存：除开学生可以通过upload上传按钮来提交保存回答，系统将同时每90秒自动保存一次，这对于全屏模式下编辑长回答的同学真是方便得不要不要的。
Old and New SAT Tests. Your students can accurately self-report scores from both old and new SAT tests. They will be able to report scores from the SAT taken before March 2016 as well as tests taken in March 2016 or after.
新赛达和老赛达考试：2016年三月之前的老赛达成绩和之后的新赛达成绩都能作为考试分数提交啦，妈妈在也不用担心我的赛达种类会不会不满足学校要求啦。
Updated Citizenship. The U.S. Refugee or Asylee status added as an option under the Citizenship Status question and removed from the Visa question. Non-U.S. citizens will be asked to identify both the currently held Visa type, if applicable, and their intended future Visa type. Students will also have the option to select "I do not know which Visa I will hold."
最新的公民身份。非美国居民将被要求回答现在的签证类型和将来可能会改变的签证类型，如果学生不清楚的可以选择“我不清楚以后我将获得的签证类型”。（这一项主要针对美国难民和政治避难者。）
Review and Submit tab: Now there are three separate links that can take students back to the three sections (Common App questions, College-specific questions, and Recommenders and FERPA). The Personal Essay requirement and link will appear when a college requires the essay but the student hasn't completed yet.
检查和提交。现在将会有三个分开的链接来方便学生回看检查这三个部分：common系统问题、学校具体问题和推荐人信息。个人陈述的要求和链接将会在学生未提交但学校需要的时候出现在申请页面中。
Pre-populate School Report. Four new sections added to the Counselor Profile to help with pre-populating student forms - Class Rank, GPA, Transcript, and International School (when applicable). As you complete these sections in the Counselor Profile, your answers will pre-populate each student’s school forms.
预先生成学校报告：四个新增内容将添加在Counselor Profile部分帮助学生预先生成表格：班级排名、GPA、成绩单和国际学校（如果有的话）。这些内容将自动生成在学校申请表格中。
New Student Search Feature. You'll be able to use the search box to search for a particular student. The search box is a type filter, which filters as you type. You can enter any part of a student’s name, and the list will bring up only records that match the search criteria.
新学生寻找：在搜索栏可以搜索特定的学生，只要输入学生的任意姓名一部分或者其他标准，符合条件的学生都会列出。
Enhanced Export to Excel. This function now includes a new tab in the Excel file to capture all colleges for all applicants. You will see their deadlines, form statuses, form requirements by college as well as teacher recommendations and statuses by college. The list can be easily sorted and filtered.
改进信息导出至excel表格：这个功能可以将学生感兴趣学校的申请截止日期、申请状态、资料要求和学校推荐信息都用excel表格列出并方便下载保存。
Greater Flexibility with Counselor Forms. You'll be able to access, complete, and submit the Counselor Recommendation prior to submitting the School Report.
更灵活的推荐老师信息表：现在在提交学校报告之前就可以编辑、完成或者提交推荐老师的各种信息啦。
以上就是美国大学common申请系统主要的10大改进，准备申请的小伙伴们let‘s go！行动起来吧~！
