BOSTON—More than 80 universities have promised to make the college application process easier through a new website where students will be able to submit applications to many schools, and get coaching to compile a “digital portfolio” of their academic accomplishments.
Some of the top names in higher education are joining the effort under a new coalition called the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success.
Their goal is to remove barriers to the application process, especially from low-income students and first-generation college students. The coalition includes private colleges like Harvard and Yale, along with public schools like the University of Florida and Ohio State University.
