Applying to college is genuinely hard — dozens of deadlines, supplemental essays, and requirements spread across every school on your list. University Logger brings it all into one place and turns the chaos into a clear, personalized plan.
One has an Early Action deadline in October, another wants two supplemental essays, a third is test-optional with its own portal. Miss a single date and an entire application can fall apart.
So families juggle messy spreadsheets, browser tabs, and sticky notes — and still lose track of what's done and what's due. The stress lands hardest on the student, right when they should be doing their best work.
It should live in one place. That's the whole idea behind University Logger.
Four steps take you from "where do I even start?" to a personalized checklist you can work through with confidence.
Choose from a built-in database of 250+ universities — public and private colleges plus the service academies — each with acceptance rates, score ranges, and cost already filled in. And based on your major, we recommend the top schools for your field.

I'm Erik Woodward, and I built University Logger while helping my daughter — a high school senior — navigate her own college applications.
Watching her work through it up close, I saw how stressful and disorganized the process really is: the tangle of deadlines, the pile of essays, the different requirements at every school. Spreadsheets and reminders never gave her a clear, calm path forward.
So I built one. What started as a simple way to help her stay on top of her applications became University Logger — a structured, less-stressful way for any student and family to take control of the journey.
