<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>With so many apps and financial aid forms to fill in, I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to organize my apps? I don't want to leave this college behind and filling in the wrong name for that wrong college.</p>
<p>I bought a folder for each college I was applying to, then
-printed out the essay questions for each
-printed out financial aid requirements/applications for each
-printed out deadlines for each
and stuck it all in the college's folder. I also made one big table in Word that listed the college and its deadline. But I'm just a little OCD :p</p>
<p>I was originally planning on doing that...I was too lazy though, and right now I'm in the "we have to submit one of THOSE?!?!" phase</p>
<p>what are computers for! they do an amazing job at keeping folders organized. i also tried adopting strawberryred89's idea, but i admit that i was too lazy hah.</p>
<p>haha yea the folders idea makes it a lot easier...plus gives you a variety of fun rainbow colors to stare at while procrastinating on writing essays</p>
<p>keep an excel spreadsheet for organizing your deadlines, submissions, etc</p>
<p>I also opted to make a spreadsheet...I attempted to do the folder method, but it was just overwhelming. I also didn't feel like handwriting a chart into a notebook or anything like that.</p>
<p>Yay for spreadsheets. :)</p>
