Here’s a new application for Facebook users: The College Planner from Embark. Users can utilize the application to see school information and what schools their friends are interested in – and to fill out their application to send to multiple schools simultaneously.

Students visit the FaceBook app (or Embark.com) to fill out a single profile which can be parsed out to applications. If the student picked from the 200 or so schools that are Embark partners, the app is filed instantly and electronically. But Embark will also auto-fill PDF versions for non-partner schools, if that school's application is made public.

“The aim is to relieve some of that stress and streamline the admissions process for students applying to undergraduate and graduate institutions by offering a network of fellow applicants, a research database of over 5,000 school profiles and online applications for some of the universities,” said Embark President Adam Park.

Now the College 2.0 game gets interesting…
