Which common app should I use?

My son is about to apply to a few boarding schools and I was wondering which common app he should use? There seem to be several to choose out there and I was curious if one was more user-friendly than the others…FYI - he is a sophomore now and would be applying for an incoming junior spot.

It seems like schools either use the Gateway to Prep or the SSAT offering and not both so you’ll need to use the one they require.

Some schools offer both Gateway and SSAT. I would recommend using Gateway if you are serious about the school even though it’s more work. You get to answer more questions that they want to ask, therefore they get to know you better.

Thank you both for this feedback. I think the school he’s most interested in offers both…
