Schools: Track Application Teens and parents can now tap "Track Application" directly from any saved school card. This opens the full College Applications modal — where you can log the platform (Common App, Coalition, etc.), round (EA, ED, RD), deadline, portal URL, application status, and track individual materials (essays, transcripts, recommendations, test scores) with completion checkboxes. Schools: Virtual Tour When a school has a curated tour video in our database, a "Virtual Tour" button appears automatically on the expanded school card. Tapping it opens the official campus tour video on YouTube. Videos are pre-vetted from official admissions channels and scored by recency and quality — no searching required.
