AI Admissions Application Review

You spend hours each week sorting through application PDFs in Google Drive, answering repeated questions in Outlook, and double-checking Excel spreadsheets for missing info. As an admissions coordinator, you’re buried in repetitive tasks that keep you from evaluating applicants. Mistakes and delays pile up, and your team feels the pressure.

An AI agent that helps admissions coordinators review, clarify, and summarize student applications—reducing manual work in Google Drive, Excel, and email.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In higher education admissions, coordinators and interviewers waste significant time clarifying form instructions, answering the same applicant questions, and reviewing applications for errors. Manually tracking applicant progress in Excel and exchanging emails to resolve confusion slows down the entire process. This constant back-and-forth leads to mistakes, delayed decisions, and frustration for both staff and applicants.
