Reviewing the Application Data Sharing
Universities and colleges who choose to share application data can customize which data is displayed. Slate institutions can configure the following to be shared or not shared with schools in Slate.org:
Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
College | Name of the Slate institution to which the student has applied. |
Round | Type of application that was submitted. This typically will correspond to the decision type, such as Regular Decision, Early Action, Early Decision, etc. |
Status | The status of the application is displayed here. While these can vary by institution, typically, they are listed as: Awaiting Submission, Awaiting Payment, Awaiting Materials, Awaiting Decision, Awaiting Confirmation, and Decided. |
Checklists | The checklist names and statuses will appear exactly as they display on the applicant's status page. |
Materials | Upload specific material types on behalf of applicants directly to the application record. |
Decision | Once a decision is made on an application, it will be posted here. Decision names can vary by institution. |
General Definitions
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Awaiting Submission | The applicant has not clicked the "Submit" button on the application. |
Awaiting Payment (not applicable to all applicants) | The applicant has submitted the application but has not yet paid the application fee. In most cases, the applicant will not be able to view the status of the application until the fee is paid. |
Awaiting Materials | The applicant has submitted the application however, there are supporting documents that have not yet been processed (the items may have been received, but the Office of Admission has not yet processed or attached them to the applicant's record). |
Awaiting Decision | The applicant has submitted the application, all required supporting documents have been processed, and the application is in the process of being reviewed. |
Awaiting Confirmation | The applicant has submitted the application, all required supporting documents have been processed, and the application has been reviewed, but the final decision has not yet been rendered. |
Decided | A decision has been made. |
Display Decision Data
Slate institutions have the following options regarding displaying decision data:
Do not share information on Slate.org.
Share decisions that the applicant has viewed in the online status portal.
Share decisions that have been released to the student X amount of days after decision release.
Navigating the Application Data Sharing Table

If one application is chosen in this view, a summary of only this application record will display.
Application Status: The college name, round, deadline, and decision.
Application Checklist: If enabled, the application checklist viewed by the applicant on their application status portal will be visible. Items that the institution has not processed will be marked with an
Upload Supporting Documents Section. If enabled, this allows uploading items directly to the student's application record at the institution. The available items for upload are listed in the drop-down menu. After choosing the document type, then choosing the file, click Upload File to complete the process. Successfully uploaded documents will be listed in this section.
Upload Documents
Colleges and universities that use Slate can opt in to sharing applicant data, checklists, statuses, and decisions. Additionally, you can track where students are in the application process and upload documents to complete applications for review. Student data is never bought or sold, and Slate.org maintains 100% data privacy.
To upload materials, complete the following steps:
Navigate to any student's record
Go to the document upload section
Upload any missing material, such as transcript, letter of recommendation, etc.
Do note that this is not an automatic upload and the college will not see it right away. The data push takes 2 - 3 hours to complete the upload.
