The interesting bit now is how international universities are taking a different turn in using Artificial Intelligence to transform the usually administrative, inaccurate, and impersonal admission process. Whereas conventionally, admission decisions depended on the standard test scores, personal statements, and recommendations, now AI can analyze a broad range of data points that include extracurricular activities, social media presence, and even emotional intelligence to build up a more holistic profile for each applicant.
Admission Processes: The Need for Strategic Presentation
However, with the AI-driven admission process, strategy in the representation of a student has become increasingly important. Beyond academic performance, the digital footprint and hard or soft skills of students are becoming part of evaluation. Now, it is out of necessity that the student will need to create for themselves an excellent online presence and skill sets that may not be reflected through traditional metrics, but rather one which will be considered highly valuable in an AI-enhanced review system.
Preparing for an AI-Driven Tomorrow
With the rapid development of AI, students should prepare themselves to succeed in this new international education environment. They will have to develop an insight into AI itself, gain skills that complement AI-such as critical thinking, and stay abreast of all the latest developments in the AI and education interface.
