College Application Process

What is College Application Manager?

The SchooLinks College Application Manager allows you to:

• Track the progress and requirements for your college applications.

• Organize of all the application materials for the colleges where you're applying.

• Request your application materials including transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc. to be sent to the desired institution.

College Application Manager serves as an easy way to keep track of all the application steps and materials you need to submit to colleges and when you need to submit them, but it is not an application portal. You will need to submit applications using the methods offered by the colleges where you're applying.

One application method used by many colleges is the Common App. College Application Manager integrates with Common App so that you can complete college applications and keep track of your application materials all in one place. To learn more, go to Common App Overview for Students.
