This is a template I made based on the Google Doc I used to organize everything throughout my college process. It outlines how I kept track of everything, along with a few Google Docs tips that I thought would be helpful to show others so they can easily customize the template to fit their own style.
The template also includes the exact organization style I used, with dedicated pages for each stage of the college process. These include collapsible essay spaces and checklists that helped me keep track of everything I needed to complete for my applications.
The advantage of this document is that it is a recent, 2026 college application organization tool that outlines exactly what you will need to complete this journey. Instead of spending time creating your own organization system before you even know what's ahead, you can hit the ground running with a proven structure so you can focus on the applications and the process in general.
