Application status check

[Quantnet]

Not sure if it's better done in other platform but here goes

Users given id and password will be able to seach for their application status via an html page
The database can be mysql, or spreadsheet which can be easily edited, updated.

I'm not familiar with asp or the likes so I would appreciate the input or pointers from the experts here.

Some more info. Hopefully someone can point me to some mod already made

We have a separate system where the students apply online, send letter of recommendation, etc...but there is no way for the students to keep track of the application decision. They only see if the application material is received or not.

I was looking around and most of the application status system use ASP/PHP, etc with a front end, database back end.

I'm trying to avoid that and use whatever I can from Vbulletin

Ideally, I would like to have a html page for the students to enter ID/pass and the page will display the status of their admission (Accepted, Rejected, being reviewed, etc...)

Am I being offtrack?
