Found us through PA School Finder?
You’re in the right place. The Toolkit is where you keep working on your plan—not another report you have to start over.
PA School Finder
Your public starting point for researching schools. The Toolkit uses PA School Finder’s maintained, versioned program catalog, including campus-specific listings.
Match AI
Your deeper, dated school analysis. Run it with saved Toolkit answers, keep the report in your account, and compare it with your current plan.
Applicant Toolkit
Your ongoing workspace: saved schools, applicant facts, and next steps. Start free without buying Match AI first.
What carries over—and what stays in my control?
Your selected school or guest shortlist stays with you through sign-in; you choose what to save. An existing Match purchase can be connected in one explicit step to keep its original report, answers, and any included access together. Review original answers before applying them to your current profile.
Supported Match, Match AI, and calculator transfers use an explicit connection and review. They do not automatically sync in the background. Review your answers and choose Save; an analysis or import never silently replaces your school list.
START SMALL. KEEP BUILDING.

THE DETAILS, SIDE BY SIDE

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONSClear expectations.
Clear expectations.
Less friction.
Your information, choices, and application stay yours.
Do I have to run Match AI before I can buy Plus?
No. Create or sign in to your Toolkit account, open Find PA Schools → Match AI, and review your purchase options. You can buy the $29.99 Match AI + Plus bundle first, then run the analysis from your saved answers when you’re ready. Running it needs a recorded cumulative GPA.
You can also start with the free public Match tools. Supported answers can carry into the next tool through an explicit, reviewed connection.
What if I already purchased Match AI?
Sign in with the email on your Stripe receipt—not necessarily the optional “Email my results” address. Open Find PA Schools → Match AI. One explicit connection keeps your available original report, original answers, and any included access together. You review original answers before applying them to your current profile.
Qualifying Match AI payments begin September 3, 2026 at 7:40 a.m. PDT. Earlier purchases keep their original terms. Original reports must still be available to connect; a copy successfully kept in your Toolkit stays there until you delete it or your account. If your receipt email differs or a report is unavailable, contact stephen@thepalife.com before buying again.
Does the report update as I edit my profile?
Current rule-based school comparisons use your saved profile. Match AI reports are dated snapshots: editing your profile does not silently run AI or rewrite a previous report. Choose a new analysis when you want an updated report. The bundle includes an initial report and up to 50 report updates, subject to its access and usage safeguards.
These are planning signals, not admission odds. Unknown requirements remain unknown, and meeting a recorded minimum does not guarantee eligibility or acceptance.
How do the AI allowances work?
Match AI report updates are separate from Toolkit Plus’s 20 advisor attempts and 2 document import attempts per 30 days while Plus is active. Those Toolkit 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 profile transfers do not use AI attempts. Existing beta and legacy access can have different allowances; your account shows your limits. Review AI suggestions before relying on them.
Will I be charged automatically? What happens when Plus ends?
No. This is one payment for 12 calendar months of Plus from payment, with no automatic renewal or AI overage charges. Your saved data is preserved when Plus ends. Starter remains available with basic fit and deadline tools for up to 3 saved schools; additional saved schools are kept, not deleted. Plus-only tools require active Plus.
Can I export my work or send my application?
Supported school results can be exported as CSV or a Word document you can open in Google Docs. Exports are copies—not a live Google Docs connection. The Toolkit helps you plan, track, and prepare; it does not submit your CASPA application or send recommendation requests for you.
USEFUL SUPPORT. HONEST LIMITS.
Your plan, with room to grow.
The Toolkit is in beta. Try it, tell us what would make your next step easier, and help shape a tool that works for real applicants.
Share feedback or report a problem →- Start manually. AI is optional, not required.
- Review imports before they change your plan.
- Save your edits before leaving a workspace.
- Keep copies of important work during beta.
The Toolkit supports planning; it does not submit your CASPA application or predict admission. GPA estimates are not CASPA-verified GPAs, and course mappings do not establish prerequisite equivalency. Unknown program information stays unknown. Confirm current requirements, deadlines, costs, and accreditation with each program and ARC-PA.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT TODAY.
Your next chapter deserves a plan.
Start with one school. Keep building with the profile, comparisons, and next steps that move your application forward.
