Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and choose File ▸ Save as Google Sheets. It also works in Excel 2019, 2021 and Microsoft 365. Older Excel versions and Apple Numbers aren't tested.

How do I get it after I pay?

Right after checkout you'll see your download link, so save the file. If you lose it, reply to your Stripe receipt email and we'll resend it.

Does it come with deadlines for specific colleges?

No. Deadlines change every year, so you type in the real dates from each school's official site. The sample copy uses made-up schools only to show how it works.

Will it write my essays or pick my college?

No. It keeps your work organized. Your essays should be your own, and the Aid Compare tab shows estimates from numbers you enter. It isn't financial advice.

Can parents or counselors use it?

Yes. Parents often fill in Aid Compare together with their student. Each purchase is for one student or family. Please don't redistribute it.
