How is AdmitSee useful to me?

How is AdmitSee different from other college application resources?
AdmitSee is the only source of crowdsourced, searchable application files that provides a complete look at what it takes to get accepted. In addition to grades and test scores, we also feature full personal statements, supplemental essays, and extracurricular resumes. Applications are evaluated holistically, so we've made our database searchable by all of the most relevant holistic factors.

What’s the difference between buying 5 individual unlocks and a class year plan?
Individual "Basic" unlocks grant you basic profile access, meaning you can unlock profiles or
packages as long as you have unused unlocks available. You can preview student profiles before using any of your unlocks. You can also buy multiple individual unlocks if you wish. However, these Basic unlocks expire after 1 year and do not grant the ability to
chat with our college users or access to our
advanced search features or
premium data insights. This is a great option if you want more access but don’t want any premium perks.
In comparison, our Class year plans grant you full premium access to the entire site: you have the ability to preview and unlock profiles, chat with our college users, use our advanced search filters, access all interactive data insights, and schedule a one-on-one consultation. The main differences between the different class year plans (e.g., juniors vs. seniors) are the length of time you have access to our site after purchase (access lasts until you graduate) and the number of profiles you can access during that time. If you ever need more than the number of unlocks initially purchased, you can always buy 5 individual profiles as add-ons.
Don’t forget: you don’t need to pay to try the site.
Do my unlocks expire?
Individual Basic unlocks expire 1 year after your date of purchase. Unlocks purchased as part of a class year plan expire on June 30th of your graduating year. All unlocked profiles can be found in your
Files folder.
I see Credits in my Account Settings, what are they?
Credits can be applied toward any purchase. If you signed up through a partner, your invite code may have granted you credits to upgrade to Premium access. You can also participate in our

Do I qualify for free access?

College Bound Opportunity groups may also qualify. Please
contact us to learn how.
I'm a school counselor / independent consultant. Can I get access for multiple students?
Yes, we offer educator and IEC access with bulk profile plans. Or, ask about our new enterprise product that leverages our millions of data points to help you make automated coursework and extracurricular recommendations for every one of your students, starting in 9th grade.
