原标题：美国大学本科请求体系具体比照 Common App和Coalition App怎样选
Common Application 和 Coalition Application两者都是美国留学请求在线渠道，但在两者之间却有很大的不同。下面乐桥教育就带我们具体了解下不同的美国本科网申体系和它们的差异。
Common Application
Common App，也便是我们常说到的CA体系，现已有超越40年的前史，也是现在美国本科请求运用最广的请求体系。
依据其官网介绍，现在Common App的协作院校有近900所，除美国外，还有其他近20个国家和地区的高校也经过这个体系进行招生。
除了高中成果、标准化考试成果、言语水平证明等这些根本请求资料，CA体系每年会放出7个小论文标题（essay prompts）作为请求的弥补资料。请求者能够从这些标题中挑选一个来写，字数不超越650词。
Common App 2019-2020小论文标题
1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, please share your story.
2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
3. Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
4. Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma — anything of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
6. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
7. Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you’ve already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
并不是一切校园都会要求请求提交Common App中的小论文。也有一些校园自己设置了独立的论文标题或额定的请求信息，比方哈佛大学就在请求体系原有设置的信息基础上增加了Harvard Questions。
每所校园的请求资料清单都能够在Common App上看到。
Coalition Application
Coalition Application（简称Coalition App）2016年上线，旨在为请求者供给更好的请求体会，特别是那些低收入家庭、少量族裔、第一代大学生的请求者。开始运用Coalition App的首要是公立高校，但经过三年的开展，现在运用Coalition App的校园现已超越140所，我们熟知的许多大学都可经过Coalition App进行请求。
和Common App相似，Coalition App每年放出5个小论文标题作为弥补请求资料，字数主张在500-550词。
Coalition App 2019-2020小论文标题
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鼓舞请求者提前预备请求，九年级（初三）即可注册账号并在体系中记载自己的生长。请求者能够在高中时期上传自己的项目阅历、课外活动等，防止高三请求季手忙脚乱地进行预备。拉长的请求阵线需求请求者提前进行规划。
虽然大部分运用Coalition App的校园也都运用Common App，但单个校园只能在Coalition App上进行请求，比方华盛顿大学、马里兰大学。
而此前只能在Coalition App请求的佛罗里达大学2019年也可在Common App上进行请求。
Universal College Application
Universal College Application（简称UCA体系）是2007年上线的，开始以清新的页面和快捷的操作来感动请求者。但随着Common App的体系更新，以及Coalition App的诞生，UCA的优势简直化为乌有。
和上述两个请求体系不同，UCA不供给小论文标题，各校园能够自己设置论文标题。
依据UCA网站信息，现在仅有包括康奈尔大学、哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学在内的10所校园可经过UCA进行请求。
得州请求体系 ApplyTexas
得克萨斯州建立了自己的请求体系ApplyTexas，包括得州的60余所高校。此外该体系不只支撑本科请求，还支撑研究生请求。
当然，得州的大学许多并非只能经过该体系请求，比方得州大学奥斯汀分校可经过ApplyTexas和Coalition App进行请求。
针对不同的入学学期，ApplyTexas中给出了A、B、C三个论文标题，各校园可自行规则请求者提交其间一个。
相对其他几个请求体系来说，ApplyTexas在页面感觉上相对陈腐。
加州大学请求体系
加州大学（University of California）有自己独立的一套请求体系，请求加州大学的九所分校均需经过该体系完结。
加州大学2019-2020年的请求体系也已于8月1日敞开。UC请求体系要求请求者从8个问题中选出4个进行答复，每个问题的答复不超越350词。
UC请求体系 2019-2020 Personal insight questions
1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.
2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
5. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
6. Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
7. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
8. Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?
除了上面介绍的几种请求体系外，也有一些校园要求请求者在自己的网站上进行请求，如麻省理工学院（MyMIT）和乔治城大学（Georgetown Application）。
应该怎么挑选请求体系呢？
以下是几个请求体系的简略比照：
一般承受多个体系请求的校园都会清晰表明对请求体系没有偏好（no preference）。因而，请求者在考虑的时分首要需求结合自己方案请求的方针院校来看看怎么省时省力，能经过一个体系请求就没有必要在另一个体系中重复劳动，浪费时间和精力。
请求者要了解每个校园承受的请求体系，然后作出最优挑选。
