What One Plan is

One list, in the order you need to do it.

A student applying to ten schools has more than 150 separate application tasks, spread across platforms that do not talk to each other. One Plan is what they look like once they are in one place, sorted by what comes next.

1

Your next deadline, before anything else

The date that actually matters sits at the top, with the week you are in underneath it. Urgent is counted separately from open, so you can see whether this is a normal week or not.

2

The tasks, in the order to do them

Not every task you have — the ones due now. Each carries how long it should take, so a free evening can be matched to something that fits in it.

3

Filtered by country when you need it

One plan holds every country you're applying to. When you want to work on just the UK, or just the US, the rest steps out of the way. Try the country buttons on the screen — they work.

4

Where every application stands

In process, submitted, and offers in hand — the whole season on one line, so you always know how far through you are.

What goes into it

Requirements come from the institution, not from a guess.

Taken directly from the source

Deadlines and requirements are taken from the institutions themselves, and validated before they reach a plan.

Every requirement, not just deadlines

Essays, tests, documents and the forms each school asks for — across majors, financial aid, scholarships and visas.

Spread, not stacked

Overlapping tasks are combined, and the workload is paced across the season around your hours and your exam dates.

All three phases

It doesn't stop when you press submit.

Most of what goes wrong in an application season happens after the forms are in. One Plan keeps running to the day you matriculate.

Preparation

Tests, transcripts, recommendations, essays and the forms each school requires, sequenced around your school terms.

After you apply

Interviews, aid follow-up, and the documents schools ask for once an application is in.

After you're accepted

Offers, deposits, visas and housing — through to matriculation.

Across the season

What the same plan looks like in September, November and March.

One plan, three very different weeks. Pick a point in the season.

Setting the season up

You add your schools and the requirements arrive with them. The plan works backwards from each deadline and spreads the load across the months ahead, so September is about starting the long pieces rather than finishing anything.
