Question 1

What is Hack Admission?

Accepted Answer

Hack Admission is a unified ecosystem for US university applicants. It brings together predictions, a forum, articles, a dashboard with tools, and a service marketplace.

Question 2

Do you guarantee admission, visas, or exam scores?

Accepted Answer

No. Hack Admission is an educational platform and community. We do not guarantee admission, visas, scholarships, or specific exam scores.

Question 3

Are the IELTS predictions official answers?

Accepted Answer

No. Predictions are based on the experiences of community members who recently took the exam. They help you prepare more consciously but are not official answers and do not guarantee results.

Question 4

Do I need an account to use Hack Admission?

Accepted Answer

Many public pages are available without logging in. An account is required to comment, publish posts and articles, save materials, keep a university list, and place orders in the marketplace.

Question 5

What awaits me after logging in?

Accepted Answer

After logging in, you get access to your workspace: you can maintain a list of universities, keep drafts, track activity, and use related tools for the forum, articles, balance, and marketplace.

Question 6

What should I do if my account is restricted or blocked?

Accepted Answer

Some actions may be blocked for moderation or security reasons. If you believe the restriction is a mistake, please write to support, stating your username and the exact error text.

Question 7

Can I read the forum without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Forum pages are publicly available. An account is needed to create topics, reply, like, bookmark, and perform other interactive actions.

Question 8

How do reports and moderation work on the forum and blogs?

Accepted Answer

You can send reports on posts, comments, and profiles. Moderators review such signals and take action in accordance with the rules and evidence within the platform.

Question 9

How is the articles section structured on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Articles are detailed content from the community: admission breakdowns, exam notes, and practical guides. You can read them without logging in, but you can only publish and interact after logging in.

Question 10

Who is responsible for the accuracy of information in articles?

Accepted Answer

Authors are responsible for the content and accuracy of their articles. The platform has moderation and a reporting system, but important decisions should still be double-checked using official sources.

Question 11

Is the marketplace already fully stocked with services?

Accepted Answer

The marketplace is in the early stages of development. The number of services is growing, but the core processes are already working: service cards, ordering, escrow, and arbitration.

Question 12

How does an order work in the marketplace — from payment to payout?

Accepted Answer

Typical scenario: (1) buyer places an order, (2) money is reserved in a protected order balance, (3) seller completes the work according to the package terms, (4) buyer confirms completion or requests revision, (5) in case of a dispute, either party can open arbitration with evidence within the platform, (6) after review, the order is closed, funds are released, and the seller can request a payout.

Question 13

Who can sell services in the marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Any eligible user can create a service. Publishing a service activates participation in the marketplace as a seller, subject to compliance with platform rules and academic integrity.

Question 14

How does the marketplace commission work?

Accepted Answer

The platform deducts a 10% commission from the seller's earnings on successful orders. The buyer pays the listed price for the service. Escrow logic protects the order lifecycle.

Question 15

Can I pay or deliver work off-platform?

Accepted Answer

We recommend keeping payment, result files, and key agreements within the platform. Escrow and arbitration rely on internal records; off-platform transactions are difficult or impossible to review objectively.

Question 16

How do refunds for service orders work?

Accepted Answer

If an order is cancelled in an allowed status, the money is returned to the buyer's balance. If the work has already been completed and the parties disagree, a refund does not happen automatically: you need to open arbitration, provide evidence, and moderation makes a decision — full refund, partial refund, or payout to the seller.

Question 17

What should I do if the work is delivered late or incomplete?

Accepted Answer

First, try requesting a revision or order cancellation on the order page, if available. If the issue isn't resolved, open arbitration from the order context and attach evidence from the chat and order history.

Question 18

Is platform arbitration a legal process?

Accepted Answer

No. Platform arbitration is an internal dispute resolution procedure based on service rules and available evidence. It is not a state court or official legal proceeding.

Question 19

How do I top up my balance?

Accepted Answer

Topping up the balance goes through integration with Volet. Available payment methods are shown by the provider during checkout. Top-ups do not require an extra security code. Money appears on the balance only after confirmation from the payment provider.

Question 20

Why is my deposit stuck 'Pending' for a long time?

Accepted Answer

The balance is updated only after confirmation from the provider. If the payment went through but the status is still 'pending', wait for the callback processing and check the transaction status in the balance history.

Question 21

How do withdrawals work?

Accepted Answer

Each withdrawal request is reviewed manually, taking into account risk and security policies. Withdrawals are intended for users earning from educational services in the marketplace and may be restricted if funds are on hold, there is an order dispute, or security checks are not passed.

Question 22

How are payouts for educational service sellers processed?

Accepted Answer

After order completion, funds may remain on hold for additional checks, then become available on the balance. Payout requests are submitted via the withdrawal form and manually verified before being sent via available methods.

Question 23

Is the Hack Admission balance a bank account?

Accepted Answer

No. It is an internal balance system used for service transactions (orders, payouts, statuses). It is not a bank deposit and provides no banking guarantees.

Question 24

Why can't I send a payment or 'tip' to another user?

Accepted Answer

Service payments and appreciation tips are available to educational providers and verified members (Expert status and above). This restriction is needed to keep Hack Admission an educational platform, not a money transfer service, and comply with payment partners. You can unlock this feature by becoming an Expert through activity or by creating a marketplace service.

Question 25

Who can request a withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawals are only available to educational providers (active marketplace sellers) and verified members with Expert status or higher. This is a compliance requirement: the platform remains an educational service, not a general money transfer service. Funds deposited to buy services can be refunded via standard order cancellation and refund processes.

Question 26

How do paid statuses work?

Accepted Answer

Paid statuses are purchased using your available balance on the status page. Before confirming, the interface shows the price, duration, and resulting balance.

Question 27

What happens to my current status if I buy another one?

Accepted Answer

When you confirm the purchase of another paid status, the previous one is replaced by the new active status according to the current system logic.

Question 28

Do statuses auto-renew?

Accepted Answer

Statuses are purchased for a fixed term shown in the checkout window. Auto-renewal and recurring charges are not used by default unless specifically changed in the interface and terms.

Question 29

Can I get a refund for a paid status?

Accepted Answer

A status purchase is digital access, generally considered a final sale upon activation. If you suspect a double charge or technical error, contact support and provide transaction details for a manual review.

Question 30

Why can't I buy a status?

Accepted Answer

Status purchases may be unavailable if your account is restricted, there are unresolved disputes/risk cases, or you have insufficient available balance. Resolve account restrictions first, then try again.

Question 31

How can I contact support?

Accepted Answer

For questions regarding the product, balance, marketplace, and technical issues, use the form in the support center. This ensures your request enters the correct internal processing stream.

Question 32

What should I include in my support ticket?

Accepted Answer

Include your username, page link, order number or transaction ID, exact error text, and screenshots if possible. For disputes, attach as much platform-internal evidence as possible (chats, files, order history).

Question 33

In what order are support tickets processed?

Accepted Answer

Requests involving security, account access, payment risks, and active order disputes have the highest priority. General product questions are processed after urgent requests.

Question 34

Where can I read the legal documents and policies?

Accepted Answer

The main documents are publicly available: platform rules, terms of service, and privacy policy. We recommend reading them before using the balance, withdrawals, and marketplace.

Question 35

When should I use arbitration?

Accepted Answer

Arbitration is needed when a buyer and seller cannot agree on a disputed order themselves. During the review, the system freezes related funds while moderation examines the evidence and makes a decision.

Question 36

Why is additional security verification required for balance operations?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive financial operations (like withdrawals, transfers, and vault actions) may require an extra check to reduce the risk of unauthorized actions and account abuse. Standard top-ups are performed without this extra code step.

Question 37

Why is evidence within the platform so important for disputes?

Accepted Answer

Internal logs, order history, and platform messages can be verified and audited. This protects both parties and reduces fake or unverifiable arbitration cases.

Question 38

How is the security of accounts and payments ensured?

Accepted Answer

The platform uses secure authentication, verified session handling, reliable balance operations, and moderation tools. For secure usage, keep your login credentials private and enable available account protections.
