Your college application timeline and checklist, kept up to date

Clara turns every college on your list into dated tasks (essays, recommendations, test scores, financial aid forms) and checks in before anything slips.

This week

  • Book 15 minutes with your counselor about the transcript request.
  • Finish the supplemental draft and share it for feedback.
  • Ask a parent to gather last year’s tax information for the FAFSA.

What Clara does

  • Builds one timeline from each college’s deadlines and requirements.
  • Breaks big items into weekly tasks: draft, get feedback, revise, submit.
  • Reminds you about recommendation requests, score sends and aid forms such as the FAFSA and the CSS Profile.
  • Keeps a running checklist per college so you can see what is left at a glance.

What Clara won’t do

  • Does not submit anything or sign in to application portals for you.
  • Deadlines change every year: always confirm them on each college’s own admissions page.
  • Does not write essays or fill in forms on the student’s behalf.

How it works

  1. Add your colleges

    Name each college and its application round. Clara lists what you need to research and confirm.

  2. Get one timeline

    Every requirement becomes a dated task, with a buffer before each real deadline.

  3. Stay on it weekly

    Clara sends a short “this week” list and moves things around when something takes longer.

Questions

Does it know every college’s deadlines?

Clara works from the deadlines you add and that colleges publish. Always confirm on the college’s admissions page, because dates and requirements change each year.

Can it track scholarships too?

Yes. Add a scholarship with its deadline and requirements and it joins the same timeline.

What about rolling admission?

For rolling admission Clara suggests applying early in the window, because places can fill, and puts that target date on the plan.

Can a parent and a student share it?

Yes. Invite each other to the same ProhostAI workspace and you both see the plan, the checklist and the reminders.
