• Guidance on what’s needed (and what isn’t)

• Optional context about you and your goals

• A structure that supports recommenders without overstepping

It’s designed to reduce friction and protect your relationships.

Yes! We make updates as appropriate, but the tools are designed to be reusable across cycles with light customization. You can update dates, schools, and materials as needed without rebuilding the system from scratch.

The Recommender Packet can be used with both Google and Microsoft products. The Application Master Calendar and Essay Tracker are also dually compatible, but you’ll likely get the best experience with Google Sheets.
