Managing 30+ students with 10-15 colleges each = 300+ applications. Good luck remembering everything.
Multiple Excel files, different versions, constant manual updates. One wrong cell and everything breaks.
Different calendars, forgotten reminders, confused dates. One missed deadline can derail a student's entire strategy.
"Wait, which essay did Sarah use for NYU?" Information scattered across emails and notes.
Every status change requires you to update multiple places. It's tedious and error-prone.
Can't see which students are ahead, on track, or falling behind without digging through files.
You only notice problems when students ask "What's next?" or a deadline has already passed.
One dashboard. Real-time updates. Zero guesswork. Every application tracked from start to acceptance.
See exactly where every application stands. Not Started, In Progress, Submitted, or Accepted—updated in real-time as students make progress.
Automatic countdown timers, color-coded urgency, and built-in reminders. The system won't let you or your students forget.
Each college has different requirements. The tracker shows exactly what's needed and what's already done.
Organize colleges by Reach, Target, and Safety categories. Make sure students have a balanced list.
Portfolio view shows every student's overall progress. Instantly see who needs attention.
Add notes to each application. See complete activity history. Never lose context again.
