The parent-controlled system for managing college planning (teen cooperation optional)
YOU track everything. YOU stay organized. Your teen participates when ready. Stop fighting about college and start managing it quietly.
Freshman year: Build strong foundations, explore interests, plan ahead
Sophomore year: Deepen activities, prep for testing, refine goals
Junior year: College visits, standardized tests, build your list
Senior year: Applications, essays, deadlines, decisions
Post-decision: Prepare for college, housing, orientation, summer prep

Real parent quote:
"Thank God I tracked everything since 9th grade. When my son's counselor asked for his 4-year activity list, I had it ready in 2 minutes. Other parents were calling old coaches trying to remember dates."
