Organizing applications

[2ndLife]

I think I'm going to be applying to at least 4 schools. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the pre-req, application requirements, deadlines, transcript orders straight? I'm usually the queen of organization but for some reason I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the best way to do this.

I'd do it in a spreadsheet myself. Each school gets a column and the rows are the pre-reqs, each app requirement, deadlines, etc. I then would either enter the relevant info or make the corresponding cell black, showing its not applicable. I did that with the school I am applying to, just to make sure I got all the pre-reqs covered. Good luck!!

Spreadsheet is the way to go.

I would also make sure you have a column for when each item is due and a column where you can check off that you have completed or submitted that requirement.

On my computer, I created a nursing directory. In that directory I kept my master spreadsheet and other documents. I made a separate directory within the nursing directory for each school I applied to.

If you are going to be looking for scholarships and grants, I would use the same methodology to track those as well.
