<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I am newbie here and I need your inputs on my side project for this summer. </p>
<p>I am taking this summer to work on a web application which help students share their colleges application progress with parents. However, I am not sure whether I am going to waste my time to develop something that you will never use :(</p>
<p>Basically, students can enter the application checklist for each school such as:
- Deadline
- Take Test SAT I, SAT 2
- Request LORs
- Write Essay
- Request transcripts
- Send out application</p>
<p>Then students can share these information to their parent. Please tell me what do you think about a system like that? Is it useful?</p>
<p>Thank you very much</p>
<p>My kids used excel spread sheets to track processes. They didn't need a website to help them but some might.</p>
<p>Thanks very much for your reply 2cakes.</p>
<p>I think the website would be useful for students who are a little bit disorganized. </p>
<p>Do you mind if I ask how many school did your kids apply for? It seems to me that more than 10 schools can cause the troubles to keep tracking everything. </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>there are some similar resources available online, for instance the Collegeboard site (a great resource for searching for colleges but it has so much that it can be a little overwhelming). Below is a link to a checklist they have that you might want to check out for ideas; they also offer some free online organization tools that you might look at as well </p>

<p>Thank you very much for the link. A great checklist! I found their website quite confusing. </p>
<p>I think I should focus on how one can manage the checklist with ease. It means the website will do everything and students only have to put a check and don't have to worry where he/she wrote it down. Furthermore, they can print it our when ever they want.</p>
<p>Once again, many thanks for your inputs.</p>
