What it does
- Keeps every application, aid and scholarship deadline on one calendar.
- Adds a school’s deadline automatically when you pick its round on your college list.
- Adds saved scholarships to the same calendar.
- Emails you a reminder 7, 3 and 1 day before a deadline, and on the day.
What you get back
- One calendar, by month, with everything due on a given day a click away.
- A Today view that shows the single next step and what finishing it is worth.
What it will not do
- Leave it to the last day. Buffers are the point.
- Bury you in email. Reminders go out only at fixed points before each deadline, never daily.
How it works
- 1
Build your list
Pick a round for each school and its deadline lands on your calendar automatically.
- 2
Add the rest
Aid forms, scholarships and anything else that is due, each with a date and a type.
- 3
Work a step a day
The dashboard shows the single next step. Deadlines arrive with buffers already built in, so nothing lands on you the night before.
Free vs paid
Free
- The deadline calendar and reminder emails are part of the free account, with no card needed.
Paid plans
- Paid plans are for repeated essay analysis; the deadline tracker does not need one.
Questions
Which deadlines can I track?
Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Decision, FAFSA and CSS Profile, scholarships, and anything else you add yourself.
Do I have to type in every school’s deadline?
No. Pick a round for a school on your college list and the deadline lands on your calendar automatically. Saved scholarships join it too.
Will it remind me?
Yes, by email: a week before a deadline, three days before, the day before, and on the day.
Why does it say buffers are built in?
Because a deadline that arrives on the day is a deadline you have already missed. The point is that nothing lands on you the night before.
Is the deadline tracker free?
Yes. The calendar and reminders are part of the free account, with no card needed to start.
