[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that at least Dartmouth and Yale (and probably other highly selective schools) use AI to sort applicants into different piles--e.g., Pile #1 (exceptionally strong), Pile #2 (strong), and Pile #3 (unlikely to admit). Apparently, this helps them get through the applications faster. They claim that they still read entire applications in each pile, so that a student with a lower GPA in Pile #3 might get bumped into the admit pile if there's an adequate explanation of past performance or something exceptional in another part of the application. Still, I get the sense that AOs spend much less time with the Pile #3 applications than the other piles. My loose understanding is that such pile sorting is based on each school's own (unpublished) calculus of mostly quantifiable metrics like GPA, class rigor, and test scores. [/quote]
