In the table view of My Colleges, you'll find all the schools on your student's list along with their current status—whether they've been suggested, are being followed, or are in the applying or applied stage. If an acceptance likelihood has been set, you'll also see that, along with other useful details to help compare colleges.

Hover over a college name in the table and click Preview to open the College Details Panel, where you'll find essential information and tools to help guide your student through the application process. 

You can easily remove a suggestion by clicking the ellipsis icon in the top-right corner of the College Details panel and selecting Remove Suggestion.Discover more about the College Details Panel
