How It Works

Admit · Apply · Succeed

FastTrak creates a unique pathway — your student’s profile goes directly to member colleges, and schools that match their goals respond with preliminary admissions letters.

1

Build Your Profile

Your student creates an academic summary — GPA, transcripts, interests, awards, activities, and favorite colleges. Think of it as a portfolio that works for them before admissions season even begins.

2

Colleges Review Your Student

Your student’s information becomes visible to 440+ SAGE Scholars member institutions nationwide. Schools matching their interests, abilities, and goals reach out directly.

3

Receive Preliminary Admissions

Interested colleges respond with a preliminary admissions letter — giving your family an exclusive opening to discuss financial aid, majors, campus life, and career interests before the formal process begins.

4

Apply with Confidence

With preliminary offers in hand, your student applies knowing where they stand. No guesswork, no wasted applications — just a smarter path to the right college at the right price.

The Profile

Six key pieces that open doors

A complete profile maximizes visibility to member colleges. The more information available, the more attention your student attracts.

✉️

Current Email

Your primary contact for preliminary admissions letters and direct outreach from member colleges.

📈

Self-Reported GPA

Helps colleges quickly identify students who are a strong academic fit for their programs and scholarships.

📄

Transcripts

Gives colleges a fuller academic picture before the formal application process begins — a head start for everyone.

🏫

Favorite Colleges

Signal interest to your top choices. Member colleges pay close attention to students who have already identified them as a preference.

🎓

Majors & Academic Interests

Connects your student with colleges that have strong programs in their areas of interest — better fit, better outcomes.

⚽️

Sports & Activities

Extracurriculars matter. Colleges actively recruit for teams, ensembles, clubs, and programs — this is how they find your student.
