Updating Application Information

After adding your applications to your list you will be able to find the applying universities on the Applications tab that you or your counselor have added. Once you have found the university that you want to update, click on the chevron button and you will be able to find the following details.

· Application Round

· Application Deadline

· Likelihood

· Scholarship

· Documents sent by the counselor

The Applications page is categorized into 4 delivery methods based on the applications added.

  1. UK DA applications

  2. DA

  3. Common App

  4. Other portals

Once the application is added to the applying list, it will be shown under the "In Progress" tab. You can click on the chevron on the right to view details like the study mode, likelihood, start date, round and so on. To remove an application click on the 3 dots and select "Delete Application".

United Kingdom-Direct Apply (UK-DA)

To complete the DA applications, click on "Complete application" to fill in the details.

Direct Apply (DA)

To fill in all the required details, click on "Complete Application". You can also click on the 3 dots on the right to change the delivery method.

Common App (CA)

If you haven't linked your common app yet, you can do it by clicking on "Link Common App" and it will redirect you to a page where you can request LORs too. Now, apart from requesting LORs, you can also request transcripts from your counselors.

Also, to change the delivery method from the Common app to any available platforms added by the university, click on "Change portal" to make any changes.

UCAS

If you are interested in sending out your applications through UCAS then you can click on "Submit on UCAS" and it will redirect you to the UCAS portal. Submit your application after logging into the portal with your credentials.

Other Portals

For universities that accept applications through other means, such as their own application portal or other national/centralized portals, students should select this option.


Submitted Applications

All the submitted applications would show up under the "Submitted" tab and the students can track their applications based on the application portal chosen at the time of submitting the applications.
