The BU Spark! program was growing in these years, and more and more students are applying for the program.
This project is to create a user-friendly online application platform for both students and admins to save their half-done applications, check the application status, and enable admins to schedule the interview directly through the platform. Additionally, we hope this platform can consist of the existing design guide of BU Spark! but also develop a stronger brand image of the overall program.
