Admissions application management

One file.
Two clear next steps.

A transcript is more than a box to check. The applicant needs to know what to send. Your team needs to review what arrives. Crossroads gives each side a place to take the next step.

For your admissions team · after the upload

See what arrived.
Know what still needs review.

The document is received; the requirement is still pending. Review the transcript before accepting it as evidence.

Illustrative staff detail: the unofficial transcript is received and awaiting verification, the requirement remains pending, and staff can accept or reject the evidence.

For the applicant · before the upload

Know what to send.
And where to send it.

Applications that your team can work on

Build the application.
Keep making it better.

Work on the questions applicants see. Use form telemetry to find questions worth a closer look. Then make a considered change.

01 / Make the question fit

A visible rule for the Essays section.

In this application builder example, the Essays section appears for first-year applicants. The condition is visible alongside the section, so your team can see where it applies.

02 / Learn from form use

Find a question worth revisiting.

Repeated validation trouble can prompt a useful question: are the instructions clear? Investigate the signal, review the question and preview a revision.

Illustrative form telemetry example: three synthetic validation failures at an education-history GPA question. The note says these events do not explain why an applicant stopped.

Swipe or scroll across the detail. With a keyboard, focus the image and use ← →.

A signal gives your team somewhere to investigate. It does not explain the cause on its own.
