<p>Has anyone found this fabulous tool yet. I may be "preaching to the choir" on this one, but I found it to be GREAT!</p>
<p>For those who haven't. You basically create a profile on College Board(if your student doesn't already have one) and "plug in" the classes that they have taken and the average gpa and SAT/ACT scores as they get them. You can find that in the link called Academic Tracker.</p>
<p>You then pull over a college and click on "how do I stack up", and/or "am I on track"</p>
<p>What this does is show how your students gpa, class rating, standardized scores, etc. stacks up against the average acceptances from that college. It puts it on a very easy to read graph and also tells how much importance each college puts on the different components of the scores.</p>
<p>After using this tool, many students at my sons school are scrambling as they realize that they need to "tweak" their plan to be more competetive for the colleges that they plan to apply to.</p>
<p>Yes, I think I've seen this. I like it a lot.</p>
<p>But, it never seems to save son's profile. We have to recreate his stats whenever he finds a new school he likes. Other than that, it's very helpful.</p>
<p>Have you saved the info at the bottom of where you "plug in" the stats? There is a place to "save". I only put them in once and they are there everytime we log in.</p>
<p>britbrat I love that "How do I stack Up?" feature! and DougBetsy yes, if you click the "Save" button at the bottom of the stats menu it should save your info as long as your computer saves cookies.</p>
<p>The "stack up" feature has been great to use for searches-particularly for those elusive safety and match schools. For all we complain about College Board this is a nice feature to have.</p>
<p>The bureaucracy oen must navigate when there's a problem, for instance, with AP scores being sent. That's probably the most frequent complaint I've heard of.</p>
