<p>Google Drive (docs) spreadsheet. All the same functionality for this purpose as an excel spreadhsheet except you can access from more than one computer easily through a browser window (e.g. school and home, mom’s or dad’s computer or common home computer). Or you could put an excel spreadsheet on Dropbox or Google Drive(Docs), but that is clumsier. We also created a Google Map for college visits.</p>
<p>Here’s another Excel spreadsheet queen. I asked my kids how I could help them in the college process, and they both agreed I could be the spreadsheet owner. This kept me involved, but not micromanaging their application process. I used the spreadsheet to have 30 - 60 minute meetings with them once a week during application prime time to make sure they weren’t missing any deadlines or paperwork.</p>
