The Progress Dashboard shows you a visual breakdown of where each application stands. Each school card displays a progress bar and lists outstanding items.
Application statuses
Each application moves through a clear set of statuses. It begins as "not started" when no components have been completed, then shifts to "in progress" once some items are done with others remaining. When all required items are complete it becomes "ready to submit," and after you send it off it moves to "submitted." Finally, once you hear back, it is marked as "decision received."
What counts toward progress
Blueprint tracks essays, test score submissions, recommendation requests, supplemental materials, and the application form itself. Items are marked complete automatically when Blueprint detects them, or you can mark them manually.
