My Colleges Overview
The My Colleges page in Scoir helps track your colleges at each stage of the admissions journey. It also provides additional information for students such a sorting capabilities by deadline or export options.
By default, your My Colleges tab will open to display (4) columns shown below.
There is a (5th) column, which is in a collapsed state, next to Suggested, which is labeled Not Interested. This will be reviewed in this article as well.
Additional pieces students will find at the top of their screen include: Search, sorting ability, different viewing options (table vs. list view), export options, along with a button to Add Top Choices.
Adding Colleges to My Colleges Columns
You can add a college to My Colleges list various ways: from your Student Dashboard, College Search/Discover, College Details Pages, or directly from within My Colleges. See here for directions discovering colleges and adding them to your list.
See below for an example of a My Colleges view.
We will break down each column below.
Not Interested Column
Colleges you have dismissed, once followed, or marked as applying but are no longer interested in will be moved to Not Interested. Colleges in this state can still be moved to Following, Applying, and Applied.
To mark a college as Not Interested, click on the three dots in the college tile. Then, click Mark as Not Interested.
Anonymously select your reason for no longer being interested in this college and click Unfollow.
To expand the Not Interested column, click the View button in the Not Interested panel. Click Collapse to hide.
Suggested Column
The Suggested column will only display if there are outstanding suggestions by either linked parents/guardians or counselors. Each tile will display who suggested the college to the you, the student.
Colleges in this state can be followed or dismissed, which will add them to the Following or Not Interested columns, respectively.
Following Column
Colleges in this state are ones you follow and have interest in. Colleges in this column can be moved to Not Interested, Applying, and Applied. Colleges can be quickly added to this column by clicking Add a College.
Applying Column
Once you mark a college as Applying or drag it to the Applying column, you'll be prompted to provide additional information
Scoir will consider you to be in your Senior year of high school starting July 1 of the Summer prior to your expected graduation date. If you begin to mark colleges as Applying before your Senior year, or before the next application cycle opens to Seniors on August 1 of your Senior year, you’ll be asked to specify the application cycle for that application.
If you are applying via an application method other than Scoir, you’ll be asked to provide the email address that’s associated with that application account. This allows us to link this email address to any supporting documents that Scoir sends to the college to ensure the materials get connected with your app. If you’re applying via Common App, you can enter your Common App ID (CAID) here too to help with document matching. The CAID should be in an 8-digit numeric format.
For select colleges, you can also mark whether or not you are applying Test-Optional. For more information on what test-optional means, please see here.
Colleges in the Applying state can be moved to Not Interested, Following, and Applied. Colleges can also be quickly added to this column by clicking Add a College.
If you wish to no longer apply to a college in your Applying column, you can use the 3 dots on the college tile to the right to Remove from Applying.
You can also use the 3 dots to move the college to the Applied column, or you can drag the college over to the Applied column to move it as well. Be sure to only do this after you have officially applied to the college!
Applied Column
How do I let my counselor know I’m applying to a college?
Once a college is moved to the Applied state, if your high school uses Scoir and you are linked to your high school in Scoir, your assigned counselor will be notified in Scoir, and will know to send documents on your behalf.
If your high school does not use Scoir, you will need to notify your counselor outside of Scoir and can request they send documents on your behalf after you have officially applied. If you applied with Scoir, you can request they send documents on your behalf via an email from Scoir by following the directions here.
We understand that every school is different. If your school has a specific procedure for the college application process, please make sure to communicate with your counselor directly on how to go about notifying them!
Applied with a Specific Major
Once you mark a college as Applied, you will be prompted to provide additional information including specific major selection when adding a college to this column.
To provide a specific major, select the Yes checkbox in the Did you apply for a specific major? section, then search for the major via the Select a Major search bar.
Updating Your Application Outcome on your Applied Colleges
To update your application outcome, click Edit Outcome in the expanded card view of the college.
Use the drop down in order to select the appropriate application outcome you received from this college. You can also use the toggles to denote if the application was waitlisted or deferred, and add any additional comments regarding your application as well.
For more in depth, step-by-step directions on setting your college outcomes, please see here.
More Information on Applied College Tiles
College tiles in Applied will display deadline information pertaining to your chosen application type, as well as college checklist, completion rate, and an Academic Overview of the college when you click on and expand the tile.
Scattergrams will display here for drop down as well as the status of required documents and to be sent by your counselor will display here as well if you are connected to a high school in Scoir.
Additionally, college tiles in Applied will display application outcome information pertaining to your chosen application type.
Colleges can be quickly added to this column by clicking + Add a College.
Viewing My Colleges as a List or as Columns
In Scoir, you have the ability to shift the view of your My Colleges in list view or in a table format to see and sort schools by different characteristics.
List/Column View
To toggle list view, simply use the drop down button at the top of the My Colleges and select View as Columns:
Clicking on the column headers title (Ex. Acceptance Rate) will sort the schools based on that information:
Table View
The table format is the default view which shows as the below. You can use the same button to go back to this view if you are in Column view and select View as Table.
Top Choices in My Colleges
Top Choices are your personal way to list your favorite colleges in your My Colleges. Your individual list will never be shared with colleges.
Your personal top choices will also show in your college list as its own column, and marked on the college tiles in table view.
Why Should I Add Top Choices?
Your list might have a lot of schools and choosing your top choices will help you to better keep track of the schools that you are most interested in. This might also help you to stay on top of important deadlines, messages, or meetings with the school.
If you are connected to your high school in Scoir, having a list with top choices will help keep your counselor informed on what schools are most important to you, which will help in the guidance and advice that they give to you.
Adding Top Choices in Scoir
If you haven't already, you will want to use Scoir to discover colleges and add schools that you like to your My Colleges List.
Once you have some schools on your list, follow the steps below:
- Click on the Add Top Choices Button in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
- Use the arrows to sort schools into your top choices, click Close to finalize
