Common Application VS. Coalition Application
Common Application VS. Coalition Application
Many schools have opted to use the Common App or Coalition App for the official college application process. It is a huge advantage if you are applying to multiple schools using the same application. For example, if you are applying to 3 schools that use the Common Application, you only fill out the application once and just add the name of 3 schools to which you are applying. Be aware, however, that some of the schools may still required supplementary materials for each individual school.
