The Pipeline

9 Stages. One Guided Journey.

Every enrolled student gets a pre-built journey with all 9 stages ready — no counselor setup required.

1
Test Preparation

Psychometric evaluation and adaptive language tests linked automatically. Official scores tracked with score-gap analysis against shortlisted university requirements.

2
Country & Course Selection

University recommendation session linked automatically. Full shortlist with per-university progress pills — deadline, document readiness, and admit status at a glance.

3
Requirements & Deadlines

Track application deadlines per university with intake dates and notes. Email reminders fire at 7 and 3 days. Auto-flagged if any deadline is within 14 days.

4
Document Preparation

LOR management (upload signed PDFs, AI-generated draft with custom instructions) + Document Vault for transcripts, SOPs, CVs, and certificates — all with file upload.

5
Application Submission

Track every application — status, submitted date, confirmation number, and portal URL per university. Dashboard shows "X/Y submitted, Z admitted" at a glance.

6
Admit & Decision

Record admission decisions per university — conditional, unconditional, rejected, deferred, or waitlisted — with scholarship amount and duration to compare offers.

7
Financial Preparation

Structured financial plan: tuition estimate, living costs, scholarship amount, loan amount, and funding sources. Auto-flagged if amounts are missing.

8
Visa Process

Visa application tracked end-to-end with country-specific checklists (USA, UK, Canada, Australia). Auto-flagged immediately if visa is rejected.

9
Pre-Departure

10-item checklist (flights, accommodation, insurance, banking, SIM, orientation) plus a Travel Documents section to upload flight tickets, insurance certificates, and more.

Smart Features

Keeps Everyone on Track — Automatically

Urgency Card

A "Next Actions" card at the top of every dashboard shows up to 5 urgent items — colour-coded red (critical), orange (7 days), yellow (30 days). Students always know what to do next.

Auto-Flagging

On every dashboard load, stages are automatically escalated to needs_attention based on risk rules — expiring scores, stalled LORs, zero financial plan, rejected visa. Flags written in a single bulk DB update.

Score Gap Analysis

Stage 1 compares each official test score against every shortlisted university's requirements. Gaps shown as badges — amber for below requirement, red for missing score. Students see exactly what to improve.

Per-University Progress

Each university on the shortlist shows pill badges for deadline, document readiness, and admit status — so students can see at a glance how far along they are for each application.

Pinnable Sessions

Students can retake the psychometric evaluation or run the recommendation questionnaire for different countries. Any attempt can be pinned to Stages 1 or 2 — data switches instantly, no re-entry needed.

Threaded Journey Notes

Per-stage comment threads for both students and counselors — notes are scoped to each stage or filed as general. Any note can be pinned to stay visible at the top. Full history preserved for auditing.

Document Vault & AI LOR Draft

Stage 4 hosts a full document vault — upload signed LORs, transcripts, SOPs, and more. One click generates a 3-paragraph AI LOR draft with custom instructions per recommender, ready for editing.

Application Submission Tracker

Stage 5 tracks each university application inline — status (Not Started → Admitted), submission date, confirmation number, and portal URL. Autocomplete pulls from the shortlist. Quick-stat updates live.

Stage Attachments & Travel Docs

Stages 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 support generic file attachments (deadlines list, financial evidence, offer letters, visa docs). Stage 9 adds a dedicated Travel Documents section for flight tickets, insurance, and accommodation.

Counselor Tools

Real-Time Oversight for Every Student

Counselors can see every student's progress at a glance — and drill into any journey in one click.

Health Score (0–100)

Live risk score per student — computed from 5 dimensions. Sortable column on the overview table. Red flags surface instantly.

Stage Overview

Each student row shows their active stage and a pill breakdown of all 9 stages — so counselors spot blockers without opening individual profiles.

Student Detail View

Full read-access to any student's journey — scores, LORs, documents, deadlines, financial plan, visa, and notes — from a single counselor URL.

Create Journey

Counselors can create a journey for any enrolled student who doesn't have one yet — directly from the overview modal, with one click.

Automated Reminders

Students Never Miss a Deadline

Reminder emails fire automatically in a background thread — no cron jobs, no server configuration, no missed runs.

Application Deadline Alerts

Email fires automatically when a deadline is exactly 7 days away, then again at 3 days. Students get one reminder per threshold — no spam.

7 days before 3 days before
LOR Follow-Up Nudges

If a Letter of Recommendation request has been sitting in "to request" or "requested" status for exactly 14 days, the student gets a gentle follow-up prompt.

14 days stalled Once per event
Test Score Expiry Warnings

Official scores (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE) have validity periods. Reminders fire at 90 days and 30 days before each score expires — giving students time to rebook.

90 days before 30 days before
Zero-Cron Architecture

Reminders run via JourneyReminderMiddleware — triggered on the first authenticated request after midnight. A distributed cache lock prevents duplicate sends across multiple server processes. SMTP runs in a daemon thread so it never adds latency to any page load.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Automatically. The moment a student is enrolled with journey enabled, a JourneyProfile is created and all 9 stages are pre-populated. Existing psychometric results and university shortlists are linked automatically. No manual setup required.

A 0–100 score computed live for every student. It deducts points for upcoming deadlines (30 pts), stalled LOR requests (20 pts), pending documents (20 pts), no stage progress (20 pts), and expiring test scores (10 pts). Counselors see it as a sortable colour-coded bar: Green ≥ 70, Amber 40–69, Red < 40.

Yes. Reminders fire via middleware on the first request each day — no cron needed. Students receive deadline alerts at 7 and 3 days, LOR follow-ups after 14 stalled days, and test-score expiry warnings at 90 and 30 days. All emails send in a background thread so page loads are never affected.

Yes. Students can retake assessments or run the university questionnaire for different countries or profiles. When multiple attempts exist, a "Switch (N)" picker appears on the relevant stage. Students click "Use this" to pin any attempt — their journey updates immediately and the selection persists across reloads.

It compares a student's official IELTS, TOEFL, and GRE scores against each shortlisted university's minimum requirements. Gaps display as colour-coded badges — amber for below requirement (showing current vs needed), red for missing score entirely. This motivates focused test improvement rather than general study.

Yes. The counselor overview shows all students across every organisation the counselor administers. Each row shows active stage, stage-status breakdown, and live health score. The health column is client-side sortable so counselors can instantly surface the most at-risk students. Clicking a student opens their full detail view.

Every Student. Every Stage. On Track.

Give your students a guided path from self-discovery to visa approval — and give your counselors real-time visibility over every journey.
