Hey guys! I'm looking for some apps that could help me with test prep, college selection, and application organization. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
Hey there! There are definitely some useful apps out there to help you with the college admissions process. Below are a few recommendations for different aspects of the process:
1. Test Prep: If you're prepping for the SAT or ACT, you might want to check out apps like 'Khan Academy' and 'Magoosh.' Both offer resources for effective test practice and strategy guides to help you maximize your scores. The College Board also offers an app called 'Daily Practice for the New SAT,' which gives you daily SAT questions to keep yourself sharp.
2. College Selection: Several resources can help you narrow down your college choices. While not an app, you can access 'CollegeVine' through your phone and it has a helpful chancing comparison tool that factors in aspects like your GPA, test scores, and extracurriculars to give you personalized estimates of your chances at different colleges. Another useful app is 'Common App onTrack,' which allows you to manage and track your application progress for any school that is part of the Common App.
3. Application Organization: 'College Passport' is an app designed specifically to help students through the application process. It provides resources for essay writing, deadline and task management, and even financial aid and scholarship information. The 'Scholly' app is another excellent tool to search for scholarships and keep track of your applications.
These are just a few of the many resources available to you. It's essential to find apps and tools that work best for you and help you stay organized throughout the college admissions process. Good luck!
