Step by step

Follow the workflow

  1. Do not apply before profile setup

    Incomplete profile data leads to weaker matches and more follow-up during applications.

  2. Do not confuse vault files with requirement files

    A document in your profile vault may still need to be linked or uploaded to a specific application requirement.

  3. Do not treat eligibility as a guarantee

    Eligibility is a planning signal. Official admission and scholarship decisions come from the university.

  4. Do not ignore tasks

    Tasks usually point to the current blocker. Clear them before opening new applications.
