Resources
Available to each student is the SMArts College Student Tracker. This document has different tabs for the different parts of the college application. Examples are provided at the top of each page to guide the students throughout the spreadsheet. However, this sheet is also designed to be personalized by students as needed. If you want to add a sheet for clubs you want to join, or the available fly-in programs, or interview dates that you've booked, you can make sections just for that!
The link is view only, so to access it, students must make a copy of the master document and rename it. If students choose to give Nancy access to their sheet via email, she can review their work.
Our Applying to College slideshow has information about the components of a college application. There are also links in the slides that you can click on for more information.
Meeting sign-ups with Nancy can be done through her College Advising Zoom 1-on-1s link or in the In-Person meeting document.
