I am employed as an Admissions Processing Assistant at Baruch College. I use excel mainly to keep track of students but in different capacities. For example, the Undergraduate Admissions Office uses an excel share drive for us to keep track of admissions applications, denials and appeals. We keep lists of what students are invited to attend orientations and when. One of the most important things excel helps us to do is run programs to update student records so that we do not have to do it manually, which is very helpful when dealing with thousands of applicants at a time. The excel share drive allows us to share information on current and perspective students in a secure way, when in the past we may have had to use emails or other forms of info sharing which were less private.
