Your application, one clear step at a time
Turn every university application into an ordered checklist you can follow, update, and share with your counsellor.
About checklists
Applying abroad involves dozens of small steps across multiple universities. Checklists turns each application into a structured sequence of tasks — from gathering transcripts to submitting supplements — so you always know what comes next.
The list lives alongside your Application tracker, letting you move from a high-level deadline view straight into the concrete actions that keep you on schedule. Counsellors can also review your progress and add guidance directly to the list.

Generate a dedicated to-do list for each university you apply to, pre-populated with common requirements.

Tick off completed items, filter by status, and view the next action for every application at a glance.
Link tasks to related features
