Coalition Application
Coalition Application(简称Coalition App)2016年上线,旨在为申请者提供更好的申请体验,特别是那些低收入家庭、少数族裔、第一代大学生的申请者。最初使用Coalition App的主要是公立高校,但经过三年的发展,目前使用Coalition App的学校已经超过140所,大家熟知的很多大学都可通过Coalition App进行申请。
和Common App类似,Coalition App每年放出5个小论文题目作为补充申请材料,字数建议在500-550词。
Coalition App 2019-2020小论文题目
1. Tell a story from your life, describing an experience that either demonstrates your character or helped to shape it.
2. Describe a time when you made a meaningful contribution to others in which the greater good was your focus. Discuss the challenges and rewards of making your contribution.
3. Has there been a time when you’ve had a long-cherished or accepted belief challenged? How did you respond? How did the challenge affect your beliefs?
4. What is the hardest part of being a student now? What’s the best part? What advice would you give a younger sibling or friend (assuming they would listen to you)?
5. Submit an essay on a topic of your choice.
与Common App不同的是,Coalition App鼓励申请者提前准备申请,九年级(初三)即可注册账号并在系统中记录自己的成长。申请者可以在高中时期上传自己的项目经历、课外活动等,避免高三申请季手忙脚乱地进行准备。拉长的申请战线需要申请者提早进行规划。
尽管大部分使用Coalition App的学校也都使用Common App,但个别学校只能在Coalition App上进行申请,比如华盛顿大学、马里兰大学。
而此前只能在Coalition App申请的佛罗里达大学2019年也可在Common App上进行申请。
