Started as a pilot program in 2016 with just 3 schools, and now being used by more than 135 EMA member schools, the EMA integration with A Better Chance allows your Admissions team to access ABC Applications right from your Member Access Portal (MAP). With this integration, there is no longer any need to download application materials from Box.com.
Here is how it works:
- If you have opted in to access A Better Chance Applications via the MAP, you will see “Access ABC Applicants” under your Applicants tab. If you do not see this tab, please request A Better Chance to begin uploading applications for your school.
- Your ABC workstation will list all the files that are available to you at a given point, in one consolidated PDF file. Please be in touch with A Better Chance directly, for more information on when materials are scheduled to be uploaded.
- As application components are submitted, your files will be updated. The “Last Updated Date” column indicates the date when the most recent submissions were made. Your consolidated PDF download will always include the student’s most recently updated file.
- The EMA and A Better Chance systems sync on a nightly basis. Note: if you are missing a file or an update, please allow 24 hours for confirmation.
- Your workstation will show only current year files. All previous year A Better Chance applications will be archived annually, on August 1st.
If you would like to participate in this direct access to A Better Chance application forms, or if you have any questions, please contact Melissa Providence at mprovidence@enrollment.org.
