📸 Industry Spotlight: Colleges contemplate AI-generated admissions essays

Undergraduate admissions officers at Georgia Tech are exploring how AI chatbots might reshape the admissions process this fall. Their findings could have major implications for universities across the country.

Key points:

• Applicants’ essays have traditionally served as a lens into their unique character, potential and ability to handle adversity. AI tools threaten to turn the college application essay into “a kind of generic cake mix.”

• Some teachers think outsourcing writing to bots could prevent students from developing critical thinking and storytelling skills.

• After the Supreme Court ruled that race-based university admissions programs were illegal, some selective universities hoped to rely on essay questions to foster diversity on campus.

The other side:

• Other educators hope that AI tools will have a democratizing effect.

• Wealthier high school students often have access to alumni parents, family friends and paid writing coaches to help with the application process. AI tools could play a similar role for students who lack such resources.

• Georgia Tech is encouraging high school applicants to use AI tools to “brainstorm, refine and edit” their ideas.
