Can a quick workout and your phone reveal something about your heart health? Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School say yes, and they've built an app to prove it.

Experts suggest two main reasons for the uptick in applications: More colleges are accepting the Common App. That means students can fill out a single application and send it to as many as 20 schools.

School leaders say the state's rollout of new, adaptive NJSLA and NJGPA state testing should have considered local needs and district feedback.
