<p>I am trying to develop a spreadsheet to track DD's college applications and I would like to ask for help on what items I should be tracking. Here is what I have so far: School Name/Application Due Date/Date Letters of Recommendation Were Given to Teachers/Date Counselor Was Given Counselor Form/CSS Profile Due Date</p>
<p>Can any of you think of any other items that I should be tracking?</p>
<p>Sat scores sent? Supplemental application forms? Supplemental materials-like photos, CDs, literary pieces etc., fee sent</p>
<p>Our spreadsheet included your items, Audi's items and:
Application Deadline, Expected Decision Date, Reply By Date (when you have to submit your enrollment deposit), Housing Application Deadline, Online ID/PIN (because so many allow you to access your app online/track app status online)</p>
<p>For information purposes on your spreadsheet, you may want to add a column for each school's SAT/ACT code....it will save you buckets of aggravation when you need to access that info quickly for correspondence or followup. And any school specific passwords/user id's might be nice to include as well.</p>
<p>For items to track.... some schools have different deadlines for school specific financial aid applications/forms/supplements required in addition to CSS Profile and FAFSA.</p>
<p>I can e-mail you the one I've been using. It tracks everything, and even adds up the money spent on fees, visits, etc. Just PM me if you like.</p>
