Exploring AI in College Admissions: Practical Use Cases for Counselors and Reps
AI is not just a buzzword. It is becoming a tool that can help us work smarter, communicate more effectively, and better support students through the college admissions process. But what does that actually look like in your day-to-day work?
This resource highlights real-world use cases for both high school college counselors and university admission representatives. Each example reflects common challenges we face and invites you to think through how AI tools might be used to address them. These are not theoretical ideas—they are practical, hands-on scenarios meant to spark exploration and experimentation.
We are not offering solutions here. Instead, the goal is for you to consider how you would approach each situation using AI. Whether you are supporting students on the high school side or recruiting them on the university side, we hope these prompts inspire conversation, creativity, and maybe even your next experiment with AI.
