[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys - with so many applications, chances are AI screens your kids app and it’s likely not even read.

The poster above about finding a way - any way - to distinguish the applicant is right.

Weird majors /applications to under the radar programs will be more and more relevant in coming years…..and kids won’t be able to switch so they need to make that major/field of study authentic to their applications [/quote]

It's not AI, its a formula, usually just GPA+SAT to calculate some amount of points. If you are >some threshold, you're in the admit pile. If you are <some threshold, you're in the deny pile. They will look at the admit pile and see what they have in terms of their target class. Then the AOs go through the ones in the middle and factor in ECs, recs, essays to compile the rest. Other factors are things like financial aid, yield algorithms. For example, race may not be a factor in admissions decisions, but a school can choose to give merit aid to individuals from certain underrepresented minorities >a lower threshold and to individuals from majority groups >a higher threshold, to maximize the incentive for underrepresented minorities to enroll.
