I've color-coded each school:  Northeastern is pink, BU is purple, BC is green, Suffolk is blue.  I have a folder for each, due dates on my calendar written in each school's color, note cards on my bulliten board with what i need still for each school, and a note card for each school describing where I stand with their index.  yesh, I'm OCD

I love color-coding.  You can only imagine how it made me feel when I read the color-coded highlighting section of LSC.

don't go overboard with this stuff.  it can consume you.  i know.

[Rowgirl]

I'm way past that point, and there is no going back.  I'm obsessed

[dgatl]

my excel sheet was 32 columns (the schools I considered applying to) by 24 rows (factors in my decision, etc).

there was color coding

there was bolding, change of fonts, italics, etc.

spent as much time on that as I did on my senior design project
