The Launchpad is genius
As someone going through this a second time, organization is everything. The Launchpad being the single final page where everything comes together to submit just makes sense. I knew exactly where to go when an essay was polished and ready. No second-guessing whether I was working from the right version. It had a link to where I needed to submit my essay, and my username and password (which I input) – I didn’t have to look for all my information and I was ready to just paste my work in and go. It removed a layer of anxiety I didn't even realize I was carrying.Warm Regards
The pre-loaded prompts saved me hours
I cannot overstate how much time I wasted last cycle just copying prompts off school websites and reformatting them. Having them already loaded in a clean workspace meant I could open the app and just write. No tabs, no clutter, no distractions. It felt like the whole thing was built by someone who actually suffered through this process.
Finally stopped drowning in Google Docs
I had about 40 separate documents floating around before I found this. The Vault changed everything for me. The moment I wrote a "solid diversity essay", it was just there, sorted by topic, ready to adapt for the next school instead of me digging through a graveyard of files named "secondary_final_FINAL_v3". If you're applying broadly, this alone is worth it.
The dashboard kept me honest
Secondaries come in waves and it's so easy to lose track of which ones you've actually finished versus the ones you've been "meaning to get to." The progress dashboard and launchpad gave me a clear picture of where I stood across every school, so I stopped having those 2 a.m. panic moments wondering if had missed a deadline.
Clean, calm, and exactly what a stressed applicant needs
Honestly the best part is how quiet the workspace feels. Secondary season is chaos, and most tools add to the noise. This one strips it down to what matters: the prompt, your writing, and a clear sense of progress. Reusing essays from the Vault across schools made my second half of the cycle dramatically less painful than the first. Would recommend to anyone staring down a mountain of secondaries.
