Your Toolkit account keeps your workspace separate from other applicants. Creating an account does not change any existing Match or Maya purchases.

Starter is free with your verified account. Qualifying Match AI purchases can claim Plus; standalone renewal and AI Boost checkout are not open yet. Start with minimal information and read the guide, privacy & limitations before entering your plan.

THE PA SCHOOL FINDER DATA ADVANTAGE

More than a directory. A PA program dataset built for real applicant decisions.

The Toolkit uses PA School Finder’s maintained, versioned program catalog to help you search, sort, and compare hundreds of PA programs. New snapshots are validated before they replace the prior catalog, school identities are preserved as records change, and missing information stays visibly unknown instead of being guessed.

377source rows in the current snapshot
356listings marked active from source data
19inactive identities retained for continuity

Source dates do not verify every individual field. Requirements can change; always confirm current accreditation, deadlines, prerequisites, fees, and testing policies with each program and ARC-PA.

PROGRAM FACTSListed minimums · policies · dates · location
YOUR EXPLAINED RESULTFit factors · gaps · unknowns · next actionsYour result can change as your saved application grows.

THE CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE LAYER

An advisor that begins with your plan—not a blank chat box.

AI features are being introduced carefully. Your saved plan remains the source of context, you choose when information is shared, and proposed imports require review before they change anything.

OPTIONAL · RESTRICTED PREVIEW

Plan-aware personal advisor

When enabled in your account, share selected planning context with OpenAI after explicit consent and ask what to work on next. Your manual plan and explained school matches work without it. Included usage is limited.

OPTIONAL · RESTRICTED PREVIEW

Review-first document imports

When enabled, submit a redacted transcript or résumé for AI-assisted extraction. Review the proposed entries before applying anything to your portfolio. Manual entry is always available during active access.

COMING LATER

Maya and program-watchdog connections

Deeper Maya interview personalization, source-verified program change alerts, and synchronized PA Life tools are the next phase—not active promises in the core beta.

FROM “WHERE DO I START?” TO “I KNOW MY NEXT MOVE.”

Build the plan behind your application.

  1. 1

    Start with you

    Use the guided profile to add your cycle, academics, experiences, preferences, and testing plans. Nothing saves until you review it.

  2. 2

    Build your school list

    Search, filter, and save programs from the current PA School Finder catalog.

  3. 3

    Close the gaps

    As you add courses, hours, and test plans, your GPA estimates, match checks, résumé, and next steps become more complete.

  4. 4

    Apply with a plan

    Organize deadlines, expected costs, documents, and recommendation preparation from one connected workspace.

NO SURPRISES

A few good questions.

The important details, without the fine print.

How do Match AI and the Toolkit fit together?

Use PA School Finder to explore programs. Match AI provides your report. The Toolkit is your ongoing workspace for turning your school list and applicant profile into an application plan.

A qualifying $29.99 Match AI purchase includes the report and 12 calendar months of Plus from payment. Complete the existing Match purchase, then return and claim access with your verified checkout email. Your original report and re-runs are unchanged. Claiming access does not import or overwrite your Toolkit data.

Will I be charged again automatically?

No. This is one payment for 12 months, with no automatic renewal or AI overage charges. Standalone Toolkit renewal and AI Boost checkout are not open yet. Qualifying Match purchase claims are open.

What happens when Plus ends?

Your saved data is preserved and Starter stays available. Plus-only planning tools and AI access require active Plus. Starter basic fit and deadline tools cover up to 3 saved schools; additional saved schools are kept, not deleted.

How does the included AI allowance work?

The new Plus bundle includes 20 advisor attempts and 2 document import attempts per 30 days while Plus is active. Included attempts reset and do not roll over. Provider attempts count even if they fail; reopening a completed answer does not use another attempt. Daily and service-wide safeguards also apply.

Manual planning, GPA calculations, rule-based matches, and reviewed Match-profile import do not consume AI attempts. Existing beta and legacy access may have different allowances; your account shows the applicable limits. AI answers and document proposals need your review.

Can I renew or add more AI usage?

Renewal and AI Boost checkout remain closed while testing continues. They are not additional membership tiers. The existing renewal price is $29.99 for 12 more months; renewal does not reset used AI attempts or purchase another Match report.

The optional $4.99 boost adds 30 advisor attempts and 3 document imports when its checkout opens. Boost attempts carry over and require active Plus; included attempts are used first. A boost does not extend your membership or add Maya minutes. A full refund revokes remaining boost credits.

Where can I get help with access or billing?

Contact stephen@thepalife.com for receipt-email mismatches, access questions, failed-run review, or refund requests. A full refund removes the associated access; disputed payments may suspend it.

SMART PLANNING. CLEAR BOUNDARIES.

Confidence comes from seeing what the Toolkit knows—and what it does not.

The Applicant Toolkit provides planning estimates, not admissions decisions. Match stages are not acceptance probabilities. GPA calculations are not official CASPA-verified GPAs, and course mappings do not prove prerequisite equivalency.

YOUR APPLICATION DESERVES ONE CLEAR PLAN.

Ready to bring it all together?

Stop managing school lists, GPAs, experience hours, deadlines, documents, and costs in separate places. Give every decision the context of your whole application.
