For Students: My Colleges

Client Success Team Updated by Client Success Team

The My Colleges page tracks your colleges at each stage of the admissions journey.

My Colleges

You can add a college to My Colleges list various ways: from your Student Dashboard, College Search, College Details Pages, or directly from within My Colleges.

You can set the Acceptance Likelihood of a college via the Set Acceptance Likelihood link on the college tile and within the expanded card view.

My Colleges is broken up into five distinct columns. Depending on their state, college tiles can be moved from one column to another.

Not Interested

Colleges you have dismissed, once followed, or marked as applying but are no longer interested in. Colleges in this state can be moved to Following, Applying, and Applied.

To open the Not Interested column, click the View link in the Not Interested panel. Click Collapse to hide.

Suggested

The Suggested column will only display if there are outstanding suggestions by either linked parents/guardians or counselors.

Colleges in this state can be followed or dismissed, which will add them to Following or Not Interested, respectively.

Following

Colleges in this state can be moved to Not Interested, Applying, and Applied. Colleges can be quickly added to this column by clicking + Add a College.

Applying

Once you marked a college as Applying, you will be prompted to provide additional information including application type and method.

Once you have chosen to apply with Scoir, you will not be able to change your Application Method selection in our system. If you wish to apply using a different method, you will need to coordinate that application process outside of Scoir. 
Please note: When using Scoir to apply to a college, once you’ve completed the process, your college will automatically be moved to Applied. You’ll be able to monitor available updates to your application through My Colleges. 

To provide application type, select the type from those available in the Applying window.

To provide application method, select the method from those available in the Applying window, then provide additional detail such as Type and Application IDs, if available.

Colleges in this state can be moved to Not Interested, Following, and Applied. Colleges can be quickly added to this column by clicking + Add a College.

Applied

How do I let my counselor know I’m applying to a college?

Once a college is moved to the Applied state, your assigned counselor will be notified in Scoir, and will know to send documents on your behalf.

Please ensure that you have submitted your application via your preferred method before marking a college as applied.
Please note: When applying with Scoir as your application method, once you’ve completed the process, your college will automatically be moved to Applied. You will be able to monitor available updates to your application through My Colleges. 

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 how to go about notifying them directly.

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 Yes in the Did you apply for a specific major section, then search for the major via the major search bar.

Why Should I Add Top Choices My Schools?

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.
