spreadsheet for college choices...

I saw a chart on some site with a simple excel spreadsheet, but I can't remember where. Anyone know what I am referring to? It seemed like a good visual tool for students who,like my daughter, are comparing a few different things, especially scholarship potential and bottom line costs. Any help for would be appreciated. Thanks!

Easy to make different ones at the various points in the process.

First round listing dates of open houses, deadlines for ED EA scholarships, size, COA, GPA and SAT ranges, attractive programs, interesting clubs/ECs

After applications are in use decision making filters, distance, ease of travel, supplemental scholarships available, COA, potential AP transfer credits

After decisions use real dollars COA with FA, pros and cons of each school, dates of accepted student days

Try this one? Don't know what it looks like, but several users were impressed.

op here...

I could make one, but there was one linked to a site that plugged in all the data. It was relatively easy as I remember. I will keep looking and if I find it I will post a new post. Thanks:}

Here's one I like, but it requires that you plug in your own data: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...183111033.aspx

It's very easy to modify if you want to add or delete categories of information.
