Is there a nice-looking website that will let me track multiple college applications?

Ideally, for free? I like the layout of ivymap.com, but don't want to pay $10.

It looks like with a bit of grunt work you could replicate the "application elements" and calendaring features of that site on your own using Google Calendar/Google Spreadsheets (or whatever non-Google equivalent). You might also find a free Backpack account useful but the free account doesn't include the calendar functionality.

The combination of Cappex and a huge Excel spreadsheet got me through last year's crazy application cycle (seriously, 14 schools?) just fine.

For CommonApp schools, iirc, their website will do some of this for you. Only works for schools that accept the Common App of course.

Does Naviance do this? My kid's school gives us a login.

I used google docs for grad school: the calendar, several spreadsheets, and the document editor (10 schools).
