transcript
Big Problem – Large Opportunity
• 5 Million students register to a U.S.
Undergraduate College every year
• It’s a long, complicated, stressful and
expensive process
• 1 out of 4 teenagers submitted
7 or more college applications.

70%
of Students want a Mobile App to Track Their College Application
(Survey by Cappex)
AppLyst Was Born:
The Mobile App
that “Manages and
Tracks your
College
Application”
Let’s see how it works…
The
“Tripit” of
College
Apps…
“Tripit” is a Trademark of Concur
So how
does
AppLyst
work?
This is the main or
Home Screen,
where you can
navigate through the
application.
Next step – year you are in now
After filling in your
name and email,
select which year
you are in from the
dropdown menu.
This will determine
the Due Dates and
Push Notifications
Next step – chose a college
Now choose one or
more colleges that you
want to track.
In this case we chose
the University of
Maryland.
You can see some
initial information on the
college.
Next step –
get college
tasks &
deadlines
Once I hit “Start
Tracking my Progress”,
the app automatically
downloads all the
pertinent information for
the selected college,
including Due Dates
and other needed
information, and creates
My Tasks list..
Next step – create/edit tasks
I can create my own
tasks, or edit and
change existing tasks.
The “Description” also
gives me more
information. It also
syncs with my calendar
and sends Push
Notifications…
Final step – I’ve Been Accepted!
After I have successfully
completed all my
applications to my
selected colleges,
hopefully I will also get
the message:
YOU HAVE BEEN
ACCEPTED TO THE
COLLEGE OF YOUR
CHOICE.
