Ideas and maps for the college application process
Tools You Can Use
Common App Activity Drafter
I built this app to help students draft and shape their entries in the Common Application activities list. You can draft and develop entries for Activities and for Awards, and output them into a .csv that you can upload into any spreadsheet app.
Works on desktop or mobile.
College Tour Field Notes App
My partner Mindy Rose designed this app to direct your attention and record impressions while you visit colleges. It is designed to help you notice factors that are meaningful in a lived college experience, based on years of research and student satisfaction surveys.
Works on desktop or mobile, and can be saved to your phone homescreen to function like an app for use during visits!
