So how did Applimize come to be?
The Genesis: A Student’s Perspective
As a senior at BASIS Scottsdale, a high school in Arizona, I was immersed in the chaos that is the college application process. My close collaboration with our school’s counseling office provided me with a front-row seat to the myriad challenges both students and counselors faced. It wasn’t just about meeting deadlines; it was about maintaining one’s sanity while juggling countless tasks.
From Idea to Reality: Developing Applimize
The development phase of Applimize was no small feat. It required countless hours of coding, stakeholder discussions, and real-world testing. Yet, what fueled this intense labor was the vision of creating an educational software that could enact systemic change within the community.
The Growing Impact
Even in its early stages, Applimize has begun to form partnerships and collaborations that broaden its reach and amplify its impact. Each implementation of Applimize isn’t just a software installation; it’s a step towards realizing a collective vision of a simplified, more humane college application process.
