Admit - Apply - Succeed
What if colleges applied to you?
It might sound counterintuitive - but it's not. Here's why.
Students spend years preparing for the college admissions process. Families stress over how to present the "best" version of the student. Meanwhile, colleges invest significant time and resources to recruit students who are the right fit. In the end, both sides work hard - often without truly connecting.
SAGE Scholars has found a better way to match highly motivated students with the colleges that align with their academic goals and personal aspirations.
FastTrak
Designed to bring together SAGE Scholars students and member colleges, FastTrak prioritizes early engagement, streamlined recruitment, and faster admissions decisions.
Students can now build a FastTrak profile - a simple, curated summary of academic interests, accomplishments, and goals. Think of it as a personal portfolio: created to help colleges get to know the student before the traditional application season begins.
Once completed, the FastTrak profile becomes visible to hundreds of SAGE Scholars member institutions nationwide. The more complete the profile, the more likely students are to receive attention from member colleges that are a great match.
Build Your FastTrak Profile: Six Essentials
- Current Email Address
- Self-reported GPA
- Unofficial High School Transcript
- Favorite SAGE Scholars Colleges & Universities
- Majors of Interest
- Sports and/or Activities
How It Works
When students complete their FastTrak profile, that information is shared directly with participating SAGE Scholars colleges and universities.
Colleges that see a strong match will respond with a Preliminary Admissions letter, inviting the student to explore next steps. From there, students can begin exclusive conversations about financial aid, academic programs, campus life, and more - all before formal applications open.
