About Unsubmitted Applications

An unsubmitted application is an online application that has been started but not yet submitted for consideration. In Unite, you can see unsubmitted applications only for people who agree to share their information when they sign up for the LSAT. As shown in the following image, Unite tracks unsubmitted applications in the APPLICATIONS area on the Unsubmitted tab.

In order to access information on the Unsubmitted tab, Unite users must be assigned a user role with permissions and must agree to the legal notice.

The Unsubmitted grid provides insights to help you take action as part of your overall recruiting strategy. For example, you can sort and filter the grid to see applications based on completion percentage, and you can see the dates on which each application was started and last updated. Unite automatically updates information on the Unsubmitted grid daily.

Just like with other admissions workflow grids in Unite, you can add and manage different views to access immediate insights for unsubmitted applications.

Actions you can take for selected applications on the Unsubmitted grid include:

  • Add a person record to Unite

  • Add a fee waiver to an application

  • Send an email message to a person

In order to add a fee waiver to an unsubmitted application or send an email message to a person from the Unsubmitted grid, you must first add a person record with the unsubmitted application to Unite or add the unsubmitted application to an existing person record in Unite. A hyperlink in the Last Name, First column indicates the unsubmitted application has been added to a person record in Unite. By clicking the hyperlink, you can open the person record.

On the Unsubmitted grid, you may see the Archive icon next to a person name. This means there is a matching person record that is archived in Unite. If you add an unsubmitted application to a person record that is archived, Unite automatically unarchives the person record and adds the unsubmitted application so that you can start updating information and engaging with the person.

Once an unsubmitted application is added to Unite, the Stage column on the Unsubmitted grid tells you if a person has any open or closed application records already in Unite. If a person already has an open application in Unite, the stage is Applicant. If a person does not have any open applications in Unite, the stage is Prospect.

If you add a person record with an unsubmitted application or add an unsubmitted application to an existing person record in the Prospect stage, Unite automatically imports the latest contact information from LSAC onto the person record. If the person status for an existing record is Lead, Contacted, or Interested, Unite also updates the person status to Unsubmitted App.

As illustrated in the image below, unsubmitted applications appear on person records with “Unsubmitted” on the tab name.

Once a person submits an application, Unite updates the “Unsubmitted” application record and sets the application status to Pending Verification.

Use different sections on the person record to gain insights about people who have or have had unsubmitted applications. As illustrated in the image below, the Person Status section includes a Person Status History grid that may give you insight into how a person is progressing through the different levels of recruiting.

On the person record, the Source of Data section gives you insight into where information about the person is coming from and how often the information is being updated.
