What Accepted does, and what it doesn't

What Accepted is for

Accepted is where an IB student plans and keeps track of university applications. You look up programmes in the university catalogue, keep a list of your applications with their tasks and deadlines, draft your letters and statements, and record the offers you get.

If your school uses Accepted, your counsellor works from the same record. They see the students linked to them, and what each of them has recorded.

Who does what

The student records. You add your applications and work through their tasks. When you have sent an application, you mark it as submitted. When a decision arrives, you record the offer and your reply to it.

The counsellor checks. If you have one in Accepted, your counsellor can add tasks for you, review a document you send them for review, and mark an offer as verified once they have seen the offer letter.

The parent reads. A parent sees your applications, your IB profile, your documents and the costs. A parent changes none of that. The one thing a parent edits is the family preferences: a yearly budget, countries they prefer or rule out, and a note. You decide whether a parent has access. You send the invitation, and you can end the access at any time.

What Accepted does not do

• It never submits an application. You submit it yourself, on the university's site or on the application platform. Then you mark it as submitted in Accepted.
• It has no connection to your UCAS or Parcoursup account. It sends nothing there and cannot see your account there. An offer or a reply reaches Accepted only when you, or your counsellor, enter it.
• It does not ask for identity documents. Accepted has no document type for a passport or an ID card. The documents it helps you draft are letters, statements, CVs and essays. You can attach your own documents or photos to a task, so don't upload a copy of a passport or an ID card there.
