Getting Started
Create your account and run the application agentic engine end to end for the first time.
Getting started with Admit Architect takes about fifteen minutes: create an account, upload your resume, run the narrative spine interview, and the agentic engine does the rest.
If you only want to try things out without an account, start with our Free Tools. They use the same engine for a single evaluation at a time.
1. Create your account
Admit Architect uses email and password authentication with email verification. You can also sign in with Google. After you verify your email, you will land on the dashboard.
2. Upload your resume
The engine needs a single anchor document to seed its understanding of you. Upload the most recent version of your resume in PDF or DOCX format. Within a few seconds the engine extracts your work history, education, test scores if present, and any notable projects or awards.
Your uploaded files are stored in an encrypted bucket and are never used to train any model. See Data and Privacy for details.
3. Complete the quick profile
A short onboarding wizard collects information the resume cannot give us: target schools, target round, post-MBA goals, and a few demographic fields used by the chances prediction tool. Every field is optional but answering them lets the engine tailor every downstream step.
4. Run the narrative spine interview
This is the single most important step. The Narrative Spine Interview is an 8-question structured conversation that surfaces the arc of your candidacy. The engine evaluates each answer in real time for introspection depth and gently pushes back when an answer is surface-level.
5. Review your dean brief
Once the interview is complete, the engine synthesizes a Dean Brief: a narrative diagnostic with rubric scores, evidence links, and prioritized next actions. Read it carefully. It is the single source of truth every downstream step refers back to.
6. Open your first application
From the dashboard, pick a target school and create an application. The Essay Workbench will be pre-populated with that school's prompts, word limits, and supplementary questions. The engine already knows your spine, so Archer can draft a first pass on demand.
How it fits in the engine
Every step above is part of a single loop the engine runs and re-runs as your candidacy evolves. Resume, interview, dean brief, essays, deadlines, recommenders, and connections are not separate tools. They are stages of one orchestrated workflow, and Archer is the agent that keeps them in sync.
