<p>Ours was just a Word table, not a spreadsheet, but it contained:</p>
<p>School<br>
Location/setting<br>
M/F Ratio<br>
Undergraduate enrollment
% Greek
SAT middle 50% (broken down)
% Admtd
SAT II requirements
Early admission/action
Whether they had the specific major my son wanted</p>
<p>I have an Excel spreadsheet that I received from someone on CC three years ago. I found it very handy in keeping track of deadlines for applications, payment of fees, sending of recs, etc. It also keeps track of spending on college visits, but I didn't use that part of it. It's simple but effective. If anyone would like a copy, PM me and I'll e-mail it to you tonight when I get home.</p>
<p>an answer that does not really fit into the thread ... </p>
<p>I have no idea how my daughter kept track of all the attributes about the schools in which she was interested ... what I do know is she can provide a well thought out supported position for the schools to which she applied.</p>

"CAMPUS LIFE - % UG living on campus, PR Quality of Life rating, and CP grades for On/Off Campus dining and On/Off campus housing"</p>
<p>Also, these sound interesting. I'm guessing that PR is for Princeton Review. What is CP?
</p>
<p>CP means Colleger Pr0wler (the 0 is actually an "o," as you can probably guess. CC has the real name blocked for who knows why.) It's a very interesting series that ranks various aspects of colleges with grades. They sell books for individual colleges (with LOTS of great information) and also allow access to their complete database online. Very cool.</p>
<p>If you're having trouble finding specific data like % living on campus, etc. try looking on Princeton Review. On their website, they have many statistics like this. I made Princeton Review my main source for statistical information because they update it every year (so it's the most accurate) and I thought it would be best to have a standard source for all those percentages (which can sometimes be so important!)</p>
<p>Happy spreadsheet-making.</p>

Did you ever see "Miracle on 34th Street" when Macy's Santa sends customers to Gimbels?</p>
<p>I found this website with a nice spreadsheet (free) to help make the decision once accepted:
