How AI has Changed College Admissions and Readiness
With the rising use of Artificial Intelligence tools in education, the college admissions process and college readiness has greatly changed with the influence of AI. Will and Sam, two current college freshmen who went through the process last year share their experience and how schools can best support their students in preparing for and getting into colleges through project-based learning and embracing highest-value AI tools. Bringing their experience from founding Classmate (www.classmate.app), Will and Sam highlight how students and teachers now use AI tools to support learning, feedback, and academic growth.
