The only big problem is that, back in the day, a senior applied to maybe three or four colleges and then ran out of steam. Now kids hit "apply" 20 or more times. It's the number one reason why colleges are flooded with applications.
But be happy.
So agree! Didn’t have an issue with common app

C’mon! You know a mom wrote that.
DP. Nah, seems to me that a kid wrote it. Moms who hand-wrote or typed apps in "olden" times do not complain about the tedium of the Common App.
