Run a CRS Count Query
LSAC offers a Candidate Referral Service (CRS) which allows schools to query from Unite and find people who meet selected criteria. As a matter of practice, schools often run CRS count queries before running data queries to see, and adjust, how many matching records are returned. CRS count queries do not import data or generate output files. They only query for matching records and return an estimated number. The steps for running a CRS count query differ depending on whether you want to run a count for a new CRS query or an existing query.
