Seven User Guides
We wrote detailed guides for every major feature in AdmitBase. Each one walks you through how the feature works, what to expect, and how to get the most out of it:
- How to Use the Score Calculator — find exactly what test score you need for any school
- Understanding Your Match Score — what Safety, Target, Reach, and Far Reach actually mean
- Getting the Most Out of the Application Tracker — deadlines, calendar sync, and community data
- How to Use the ROI Calculator — model debt, compare scholarships, project repayment
- Your Profile Settings Explained — URM, softs, sharing, subscriptions
- How Transcript Upload Works — AI extraction, course review, multi-institution GPA
- Community Sharing: What You Give and What You Get — privacy, data flow, grace period
These are not marketing pages. They are honest explanations of how the tools work, including what they do not capture. Each guide also links to the relevant FAQ section for quick answers.
Suggestions Page
You can now submit structured feedback — bug reports, feature requests, content suggestions, and UX feedback — directly from admitbase.com/suggestions. Every submission is categorised and reviewed. No login required, though logged-in users get their submissions linked to their account.
This replaces the "just email us" approach with something that lets us track, prioritise, and act on feedback more systematically. You can still email support@admitbase.com for anything that needs a direct response.
Transcript Upload: Multi-Institution Support
The transcript upload system now tracks which institution each course came from. If you attended multiple universities — transfer students, dual-degree holders, or anyone with coursework at more than one school — your courses are now tagged by institution.
This also enables best consecutive years GPA calculations, which matter for Canadian medical school applicants. Schools like UBC and Western use your best 2 or 3 consecutive academic years rather than a straight cumulative GPA. If you have uploaded courses with year data, these calculations are now available automatically.
Veterinary and Optometry Data Pages
We added six new programmatic data pages:
- Veterinary School Rankings 2026
- Veterinary School Acceptance Rates
- Veterinary School Tuition
- Optometry School Rankings 2026
- Optometry School Acceptance Rates
- Optometry School Tuition
These join the existing data pages for law, medical, dental, pharmacy, and MBA programmes. Each page pulls live data from our database — rankings, selectivity groupings, tuition comparisons, and direct links to individual school profiles.
FAQ Cross-Links
The FAQ page now links to the relevant user guide from each feature answer. If the quick answer is not enough, click through to the full guide.
What's Next
We are working on surfacing the best-consecutive-years GPA directly in your profile and on school detail pages for Canadian medical schools. We are also planning additional SEO content — state-specific guides, acceptance-rate-by-score breakdowns, and programme comparison articles. If you have ideas, the Suggestions page is the fastest way to reach us.
