Self-study
NOTE: Decisions are rolling in! Make sure you're logging them so you're eligible for the drawing in June.

UPDATE: We've pushed the deadline back to January 30th, 2026.

We just launched application tracking on 7Sage, and we're giving away $10,000 to get it off the ground.
The prizes:
1 grand prize: $5,000
5 runner-up prizes: $1,000 each
How to enter:
Go to My Schools and add the schools you've applied to by January 30, 2026 at 11 p.m. ET
Update your applications with decisions (interviews, acceptances, waitlistings, etc.) as you receive them
Have all your final decisions recorded by May 31, 2026
See this short video for a demo.
That's it. We'll draw winners by lottery in early June.
Why would I want to do this?
The application process is a black box. We want to shine a light inside it. This new free feature will let you see which applicants get interviewed, accepted, rejected, or waitlisted—and what happens after they’re waitlisted. It’s also a convenient way to keep track of your apps and connect with people applying to the same schools!
Note that we’re rapidly improving this feature, but we wanted to put it in front of you as early as possible.

@David_Busis how do I enter for June deadline all my apps are on LSAC I am a tech idiot I have to figure out how to do it enter in all my apps
This is a tiny detail and honestly quite silly, but once a school has been selected from the dropdown, the search should automatically clear when you begin a new search, rather than having to manually backspace.
@Danate I think it does for me. Can you take a picture or (better) a screen-capture video of what you're seeing?
Please do this for the next cycle! Applying this fall. :)
do i need to be subscribed?
@DiloraTursunova No
A feature to toggle on/off whether or not you see the counts of how many other people have applied/gotten in/gotten rejected.
Thinking through.. if I'm rejected to a school that I was really hoping to get into, it would be a bit of a bummer to see how many people got accepted. It may be helpful to see that others got rejected with you, but it would be nice to have the "turn off" option. I know what's helped me with the stress is to be "head down, blinders on, do what I can do, don't compare to others"
@hey_maret Thanks for the suggestion!
It is a little buggy with adding information beyond started application, if people have issues, they can refresh the page!
@kayFrizzle Would you mind describing the bug or, better yet, taking a screen-capture video with a tool like Loom to show me what you mean? Has anyone been having issues?
@David_Busis no issues with: choosing school > started application. Issue began while selecting a date from the dropdown menus. The page would not register the date selection and add the date, even after I selected it multiple times. The issue resolved after I refreshed the page. I could not duplicate it again after the first day. At that time there was no issue with my computer or internet. I just don't want people to be disheartened if it doesn't work after trying a few times. Hope that helps!
Can you please add an option to withdraw applications before you've heard back? Thank you!
@IsabellaRubietta Done! Should be live in a day or two.
Please make the option to withdraw available if you are waitlisted! Right now it's only available if you are accepted
@cominguproses Done! Should be live in a day or two.
any plans to add Canadian schools specifically Ontario and maybe even BC schools? Think it would help us Canadian students staying home!
@PaigeMignotte I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion.
@David_Busis I second this please!
Any possibility of adding a live tracker similar to LSD.law?
@Hmm Are you talking about this feature?
@David_Busis No, I mean the Status Checker option you are able to opt into when adding a school to your list of applications. You enter your LSAC username and supposedly it updates when your application is under review, even if your portal might not display that status update (this is the idea as far as I can tell, but maybe I'm wrong). In my experience it never works. All I see is "status unknown" when I try to opt in.
It would be nice to have a "notes" or additional critera checkboxes under the Scholarship page or a way to quickly see if an offer was conditional, full tuition, half tuition, out of state fees paid, etc
@jacklyeehowdy Good idea! We'll look into it.
It would be cool if this could link to the Results page on Coda so we don't have to input everything twice for people using the admissions services
Why did you make the deadline before we get our January results back? Bummer....
@ChicagoPeach I think you can add schools without having applied yet under application in progress.
@ChicagoPeach You can add the schools you've applied to now, then update them when you get your decision.
I just added my schools :)
Looks like you can only add 2025, not 2026 cycle? (Love the idea, thanks for offering this!)
@badgers88 Currently we only let you track the 2025–2026 cycle.
@David_Busis Thank you, that was my misunderstanding of the year conventions for applications. Understood now. Thank you!
Hi! Tried to add Canadian schools but there doesn't seem to be an option for that!
@ImanBerry Looking into it!
Wish I could do this, not applying until next cycle. Will definitely be using the tool once I do apply though!
@Bagle Testing out the tool, I have to refresh the page every time I want to add a Starred School
@Bagle Thanks! I found this bug over the weekend and it's been fixed.
Do you need to be a subscriber? I cancelled my subscription after I finished the test.
@Metroidude no, you don’t need to be a subscriber. This is open to everyone applying this cycle.
@David_Busis Im applying this cycle, but haven't put out any apps just yet... But will have them out by February. Could I add the schools Im planning to apply to?
@aleiapierre123 similar boat...not applying until end of jan and maybe even end of feb
@DavidR on the same boat
@aleiapierre123 @YiquiaraM @"David R" yes, as long as you note your intent to apply here, you can add your applications in February and you'll be eligible for the sweepstakes.
@DavidR see above. You can still apply.
