Endorsed, Not Agreed
PA education's first consensus statement on AI lands just weeks before the annual PAEA conference convenes in Austin.
Analysis
Ask Better Questions
AI didn’t break the personal statement. The deeper challenge is designing an admissions process that asks better questions, evaluates applicants consistently, and connects written claims to meaningful conversation.
The Two-Million-Word Problem
Every admissions cycle, faculty at PA programs commit to holistic review—treating every applicant as more than a number—but the reading load has grown into millions of words.
You’re Not Stuck in WebAdMIT
WebAdMIT is great for collecting applications, but it's not a great place to run admissions. Fortunately, it's easy to export from WebAdMIT, so you can use a modern workflow for candidate selection.
The AI-Polished Applicant
Imagine a future where your applicant reads an AI-generated response to your live interview question off a teleprompter while you're meeting with them on Zoom. That future...is now.
The New Math of Admissions
A perfect storm is brewing in the high-stakes art of admissions: between surging applications, growing applicant use of generative AI, inflated GPAs, and overworked admissions teams, the system that we use to choose students is flooding across both undergraduate and graduate programs.
