How to create custom lists
Custom lists let you tag schools on your target list for better organization. Think of them like folders or categories you create to group schools based on your own preferences or recruiting strategy. For example, you might create lists like “Dream Schools,” “High Academic,” or “West Coast Programs.”
You can create as many custom lists as you’d like and assign each target school to a list. This makes it easy to filter and prioritize your list as your recruiting journey evolves. Custom lists are completely private and flexible—built to reflect how you think about your options
