  1. 1

    Open the comparison table

    Open Compare and stay on the Compare Table tab. Each row represents one school and program, with its concentration when applicable, under the sticky College & Program column. Choose Select Programs, then add programs from Submissions, a saved list, or All Schools.

  2. 2

    Pick a template and the columns you need

    Start from a template built for the job, then save a view when you are ready to customize it:

    • Prescreen Requirements — Voice, Acting, and Dance alongside Slate, Framing, and Requirements Link.
    • Application Details — Prescreen, deadlines, program, university, and total app fees, official links, Questions, and Status Notes.
    • Video Requirements — Slate and Framing together with Voice, Acting, and Dance requirements.
    • Working Notes — custom Notes, Faculty, and Visit Notes columns.

    Save a view before editing

    Built-in template previews are read-only. Choose Save as a view to create a saved custom view; there you can edit cells and columns and add your own notes. Open the Table actions menu marked with three dots for Share or export and Print.

    Check freshness and review changes

    When requirement columns are visible, a program row can show a green badge for your current entry cycle or an amber badge for older requirements; hover over an older badge for context and confirm details at the official source. If stageready source data changes beneath a cell you customized, the banner offers Review changes. Each flagged cell lets you choose Use updated value or Keep mine.

    To hear when requirements are posted for a program on this table, turn on Compare requirements in Settings → Notifications.
