<p>So is the UConn app new as an option this year? Online it does say that for freshman (and international) applicants the Common App is preferred, but my experience with other schools is typically that they prefer their own app. Not sure if the UConn app is a new option created in response to all the probs with the Common App last year and if politically or contractually they need to say they prefer the common app but actually would prefer their own app....? Can anyone shed any light on this?</p>
