Introduction to Organize College Applications in Google Sheets

Whether you’re about to start applying to colleges, universities, or vocational schools, or you just want to begin exploring information about them, it’s important to take the time to set yourself up for success.

No matter which schools you’re applying to, they all have their own application requirements and deadlines.

In this lesson, you will use Google Sheets to track application materials for the schools you hope to attend.

Tracking your applications in a spreadsheet will help you organize the application process and successfully meet deadlines.

Your spreadsheet can include things like:   The list of schools you are interested in, the list of all the application materials required for each school, Important dates in the application process, And anything else you would like to track.
