Types of applications

1. Coalition and common app

  • This process is mostly for private colleges and universities.

​​​​

​

  • The Common app was founded in 1975 while the Coalition app was founded in 2015, therefore one has been around for longer and has been utilized more.

​​

2. Public school applications

  • Many of the public colleges and universities have their own state system application. 

​​

  • This kind of application has a much smaller scope than the Coalition or Common app.

​​

  • In most cases when a college or university accepts this kind of application, they do not accept any other kind, (compared to the other applications in which they are usually replaceable with one another).
