An alternative application platform used by 150+ colleges.
The Coalition App (run by the Coalition for College) is accepted by fewer schools than the Common App, mostly selective private colleges. It includes a "Locker" feature where you can store essays, projects, and materials throughout high school. Some schools are Coalition-only.
Why it matters
If all your schools accept the Common App, use that. If a target school only accepts the Coalition App (or you want the Locker feature), use it. The essays and information are similar — it is just a different platform.
