each shortlisted course shows its QS World University Ranking, exact tuition fee, program duration, and a \u201cWhy this course?\u201d explainer, with a thumbs up\/down feedback loop.<\/li>\n\n    <li>The Finance tab doesn&#8217;t just show a raw cost estimate: it explicitly nets out realistic part-time work earnings against your estimated study cost, and the Jobs tab pairs a 5-year earnings-vs-expenses projection with real, named open roles at companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft in your target country.<\/li>\n\n    <li>Beyond the Country Plan, the app also covers SOP and LOR drafting support, document checklists, application tracking, student visa and pre-departure guidance, and connects you directly to a named, verified counsellor you can call from inside the app at any point.<\/li>\n\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <div class=\"qr-footer\">\n    \ud83d\udc49 Best for: Students who already have, or are about to start, a free counselling relationship with Leap Scholar and want their entire study-abroad plan, university shortlist, visa roadmap, cost estimate, and post-study job outlook, tracked in one place alongside direct access to their named counsellor.\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Content<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #192a3d;color:#192a3d\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #192a3d;color:#192a3d\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-study-abroad-app\/#What_the_App_Actually_Is\" title=\"What the App Actually Is\">What the App Actually Is<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-study-abroad-app\/#Introduction\" title=\"Introduction\">Introduction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-study-abroad-app\/#Feature_Walkthrough\" title=\"Feature Walkthrough\">Feature Walkthrough<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-study-abroad-app\/#How_to_Download\" title=\"How to Download\">How to Download<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/leap-scholar-study-abroad-app\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_LeapScholar_Study_Abroad_App\" title=\"Frequently Asked Questions About LeapScholar Study Abroad App\">Frequently Asked Questions About LeapScholar Study Abroad App<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Stat<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Value<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Country Plan tabs<\/td><td>4: Roadmap, Shortlist, Finance, Jobs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>University Shortlist coverage (in-app)<\/td><td>Postgraduate (master&#8217;s) only;

The LeapScholar Study Abroad app is an \u201cengagement-first\u201d platform; rather than a form you fill out once, it&#8217;s designed for you to keep opening, checking, and acting on over the weeks or months you&#8217;re actually applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"qa-box\">\n<p class=\"qa-label\">Quick Answer<\/p>\n<p class=\"qa-text\">The LeapScholar Study Abroad App is a counselling app: an onboarding flow that connects you to a named counsellor, plus an engagement-first Country Plan you keep revisiting through your application journey, not a one-time form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The LeapScholar Study Abroad App is where LeapScholar&#8217;s free counselling relationship actually lives day to day, not as a marketing companion to the website, but as the tool your assigned counsellor uses to build and hand you a genuinely personalized plan. If you&#8217;ve had (or are about to have) a free counselling call with LeapScholar, this app is where the output of that call shows up: a Country Plan built specifically around your profile, career goals, and preferred destination. This page walks through exactly what&#8217;s inside it, screen by screen, based on real in-app screenshots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feature_Walkthrough\"><\/span>Feature Walkthrough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Getting Started: Your Counsellor and Your First Call<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a counselling call, the app prompts you to rate your experience with your specific, named counsellor (shown with their photo, years of experience, and the destinations they specialize in, for example, \u201c15+ Years of Experience, Works at Leap for USA, UK, and Canada\u201d) using a 5-star rating and an optional written-feedback field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-460x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84484\" style=\"width:288px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-460x1024.png 460w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-135x300.png 135w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-768x1710.png 768w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-690x1536.png 690w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9-150x334.png 150w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-9.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your counsellor has built your plan, the app surfaces a \u201cWelcome back\u201d onboarding moment specifically calling out that \u201cYour counsellor has prepared your Country Plan,\u201d with a short two-step tooltip walkthrough pointing you to the plan&#8217;s tab structure and showing you how to switch between countries if you&#8217;re evaluating more than one destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-460x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84492\" style=\"width:228px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-460x1024.png 460w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-135x300.png 135w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-768x1710.png 768w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-690x1536.png 690w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17-150x334.png 150w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-17.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"qa-box\">\n<p class=\"qa-label\">Quick Answer<\/p>\n<p class=\"qa-text\">After your free counselling call, you rate your named counsellor (shown with photo, experience, and destination specialty) and later see a \u201cWelcome back\u201d moment confirming your counsellor has built your Country Plan, with a short tooltip walkthrough of the plan tabs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Roadmap Tab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Roadmap tab lays out a country-specific, time-stamped sequence, for example, a &#8220;7-Step Roadmap for Ireland,&#8221; with each step showing a specific date range (such as \u201cSep 2026 \u2013 Oct 2026: Finalizing your college list\u201d) and, distinctively, splitting responsibility explicitly into two columns: \u201cYou Do\u201d (for instance, \u201cRead through your plan, flag the colleges you love, note anything you&#8217;d change, and bring every question to your next call\u201d) and \u201cLeap Does\u201d (for instance, \u201cWe weigh the options with you, balance ambitious, moderate, and safe picks, and lock the exact colleges and courses you&#8217;ll apply to\u201d). This You-Do\/Leap-Does split runs through the entire roadmap, so at every stage it&#8217;s explicit what&#8217;s on the student and what LeapScholar is handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-460x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84493\" style=\"width:228px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-460x1024.png 460w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-135x300.png 135w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-768x1710.png 768w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-690x1536.png 690w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18-150x334.png 150w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-18.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"qa-box\">\n<p class=\"qa-label\">Quick Answer<\/p>\n<p class=\"qa-text\">The Roadmap tab gives a dated, country-specific step sequence (for example a 7-step Ireland roadmap) that splits every stage into \u201cYou Do\u201d and \u201cLeap Does\u201d columns, so it&#8217;s always explicit who is responsible for what.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Shortlist Tab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shortlist Tab is the app-native version of LeapScholar&#8217;s University Shortlist product, built specifically for engagement rather than a one-time output. It opens by showing you exactly what the shortlist is based on, your stated career goals (for example, \u201cSoftware Development\/Engineering,\u201d \u201cWeb Development,\u201d \u201cMobile App Development\u201d) and preferred academic streams (for example, \u201cComputer Science,\u201d \u201cData Science\u201d), before listing individual, real shortlisted programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

This deliberate confirmation step means a student can&#8217;t accidentally trigger an application, and it front-loads the document requirement so there&#8217;s no surprise later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The document checklist<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirming an application lands you on that university&#8217;s Application Detail screen, now showing real, university-specific numbers, application fee, first-year tuition fee, country, and QS ranking, alongside a tracker that says, &#8220;Complete the below steps and book a session with the counsellor.&#8221; Step 1 is consistently &#8220;Add 12th Marksheet,&#8221; with a direct &#8220;Upload marksheet&#8221; button that opens a dedicated four-step upload flow (&#8220;Step 1\/4&#8221;). Genuinely useful detail here: application fees are shown to vary meaningfully by university, for example, Rs. 0 (McMaster) versus roughly CAD 135 (University of Alberta) on real screens, so the app is transparent about cost differences at the point of application rather than only at the final payment stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Layered into this same readiness flow, the app also asks directly, &#8220;Let us know your IELTS status for starting your Application,&#8221; with three options: Given IELTS Exam, Booked IELTS Exam, or Haven&#8217;t booked IELTS Exam. This question is a real, functioning link between the counselling side of the app and its own IELTS prep tab, since your IELTS status directly gates how your application proceeds, not a cosmetic mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-460x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84488\" style=\"width:228px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-460x1024.png 460w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-135x300.png 135w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-768x1710.png 768w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-690x1536.png 690w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13-150x334.png 150w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-13.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Setting application priority<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because a student typically applies to more than one university, the app has a dedicated drag-and-reorder priority screen: &#8220;Review your application priority,&#8221; organized into three tiers, Top Priority, High Priority, and Other Applications, with seven total ranked slots. A first-time onboarding overlay demonstrates the drag gesture directly on a sample card before you use it live. In practice, this means a student can apply to, say, McMaster and the University of Alberta, then physically drag McMaster into the Top Priority slot and Alberta into High Priority, changing that ranking at any time as decisions evolve, rather than being locked into whatever order they applied in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-460x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84486\" style=\"width:228px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-460x1024.png 460w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-135x300.png 135w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-768x1710.png 768w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-690x1536.png 690w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11-150x334.png 150w, https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-11.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracking applications and admits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this rolls up into a single &#8220;My Applications&#8221; screen, organized by the same Top Priority \/ High Priority tiers, where each application shows a real, specific status line rather than a generic &#8220;pending&#8221; label, for example, &#8220;You have received an Unconditional Admit&#8221; for one application and &#8220;Application Drafted by Student&#8221; for another, each tagged &#8220;Ongoing&#8221; with a last-updated date and a &#8220;More Details&#8221; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening an individual application reveals a full vertical status timeline that continues past the admit itself: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admit Received (&#8220;Congratulations, you have been accepted into the course and college,&#8221; with a &#8220;View Admit Letter&#8221; link) leads to Admit Accepted (&#8220;Your acceptance has been communicated to the college&#8221;), which leads to Deposit Fees Pending as the next stage.

The web version is \u201cacquisition-first,\u201d a shorter 7-8 question form leading to a Top 50 course list, and it covers both undergraduate and postgraduate.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237781661\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>How accurate are the salary and job listings in the Jobs tab?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The starting-salary ranges and 5-year projections are estimates based on average tuition costs and average salary growth for your shortlisted programs and destination, not a guarantee. The specific \u201cOpen job roles\u201d listed (for example, named roles at Google, Amazon, or Microsoft) reflect real, current openings pulled into the app, but availability and eligibility for any specific role depend on the employer&#8217;s own hiring process, not LeapScholar.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237782353\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does the Finance tab&#8217;s part-time work estimate account for visa-specific work-hour limits?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Per the app&#8217;s own framing, the part-time earning estimate is explicitly \u201cbased on working rules for students\u201d in your specific target country, meaning it should reflect that country&#8217;s current student work-hour limits. Always confirm the current legal work-hour limit for your specific visa type directly with your counsellor before relying on this figure for financial planning, as immigration rules can change.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237813148\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can I switch between countries inside the same Country Plan, or do I need a new plan for each?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can switch countries from within the same Country Plan using the country selector shown in the app&#8217;s header (demonstrated during onboarding with a UK-to-Ireland-style switch), rather than needing an entirely separate plan or app session for each destination you&#8217;re evaluating.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237823171\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What happens if I don&#8217;t like any of the courses in my shortlist?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The shortlist includes a thumbs up\/down feedback control on every course card specifically so the recommendations can be refined; beyond that, the persistent \u201cConnect with your counsellor\u201d prompt is designed for exactly this situation, letting you go back to your named counsellor to adjust your shortlist criteria directly rather than being stuck with a static, unchangeable list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237832619\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is the IELTS prep in this app the same as the separate IELTS Prep by LeapScholar app?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Study Abroad App&#8217;s bottom navigation includes a dedicated IELTS tab, and the two apps share the same underlying IELTS content. For the deepest, most feature-complete IELTS experience, specifically mock-test volume, the full AI speaking module, and vocabulary quizzes, the dedicated IELTS Prep by LeapScholar app is the more complete standalone tool; treat the Study Abroad App&#8217;s IELTS tab as the integrated, at-a-glance version within your broader counselling journey.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790237833407\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does the app cost anything to download or use?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The app itself is free to download, and core counselling, profile assessment, the Country Plan, and connecting with a counsellor are funded through university partnerships rather than being charged directly to students. Separate paid products, like structured IELTS or PTE test-prep courses, are accessed through their pricing, not the core features of the LeapScholar Study Abroad App.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">14<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span> \u26a1 Quick Read This is LeapScholar&#8217;s main counselling app, not a test-prep app: its core purpose is to take you from an initial free counselling call through to a personalized, counsellor-prepared \u201cCountry Plan\u201d covering your university shortlist, visa roadmap, financial estimate, and post-study job outlook, all in one app. The centrepiece feature is the Country [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":84503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3524,3523],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84483"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84483"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84615,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84483\/revisions\/84615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
