Start the Coalition Application Early

So, you are ready to apply to your top choice colleges? It feels daunting and can take a great deal of time if you decide to apply to multiple schools. Our tried and true advice? Get started early!

As a college applicant, you can apply to individual colleges and universities directly through their websites, through the Common Application to these colleges and universities or through the Coalition Application to these public and private colleges and universities. Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application enable students to complete admissions information one time that will be shared with participating schools. It is important to complete all school-specific supplemental essays, too.

What is the Coalition Application?

A group of diverse public and private colleges and universities known as the Coalition have joined to improve the college admission application process for all students. The Coalition has developed a free platform of online tools to streamline the experience of applying to college. The initial iteration of the platform—including applications for admission to Coalition schools—is now available for students in high school.
