A great site for organizing and managing your high school senior's time for college applications is IvyMap.com (http://www.ivymap.com/). Using your child's college list, IvyMap.com delivers an online customized calendar with time set aside for all the parts of each of your child's applications and also supplies a spreadsheet tracker with all the key details and dates for each of your child's applications. All this costs just $10.00 per college. It is a great tension reliever for families too!
