How to use it

Keep every deadline visible.

Start by checking each school’s official admissions page. Requirements and deadlines can vary by program, applicant type, and term.

Before you begin

Create a separate deadline list for each school.
Use the same name and email address on every form.
Save confirmation emails, receipts, and portal login details.

After submitting

Submission is not always the final step. Review each applicant portal for missing documents, financial-aid requests, interview instructions, and enrollment deadlines.

Tip: Complete tasks several days before the official deadline so there is time to correct upload or payment problems.
