Another mainstream university application platform, Coalition, has also seen new universities joining, including Syracuse University, which became a member last year, and Maryland Institute College of Art.

This year, Maine Maritime Academy and Marquette University also officially started using Coalition.

Different application systems have different setups. Therefore, different approaches can be used even when it comes to presenting the same materials.

We often think of strategizing application profile on the level of content. But it is worth keeping in mind that the platform of choice is also quite crucial to the final presentation. At Enlighteens, we know that details mean everything, especially when it comes to applications. With a personalized approach to every student’s profile, we make sure our students take advantage of every single detail to showcase their best side in their applications.
