Our academic life Student Voice survey data overview got new life today in Inside Higher Ed's daily news update. There's so much in there--please check it out if you haven't already.

Task 2 : Check of Admission Model 🚀 Exciting step forward in Admission Model.... 🎓I’m thrilled to share my latest project, a cutting-edge Admission Prediction Model! 🌟Designed to streamline the admissions process, this model uses advanced machine learning algorithms to:Predict the likelihood of applicants being admitted to educational programs.Analyze key factors such as academic performance, extracurriculars, and recommendation letters.Provide actionable insights to admission teams for more informed decision-making.This project reflects my passion for leveraging data science to solve real-world problems. I’m proud of the potential impact this tool could have on making admissions more efficient and equitable.

Through COVID and some of the most tumultuous years of my life (chronic illness, multiple deaths in the family, moved 5 times myself and helped family members move twice) this chapter is finally complete. While initially a full time student, I began working as a data analyst and later a web developer during this time, turning less as a path of career advancement and more personal/professional development. Courses in business ethics gave me the tools needed to navigate a whistleblower situation. Taking courses in AI Explainability and Algorithmic approaches to understanding the human mind not only bolstered hard coding skills but has painted a truer picture of what venues AI may or may not be appropriate for use. While philosophy might not give you direct hard skills applicable to the professional world (although I would argue that the mental gymnastics required by philosophy is in itself a highly applicable hard skill) it does a fine job of ensuring the tools you do have and acquire through one’s professional journey stay as keen and sharp as possible. Anything feels possible after surviving a 8am graduate seminar on Kant.

How long do international students think is a reasonable time to wait for a decision on their higher education application? How long before they start reconsidering their options if they have not received a decision? Are attitudes changing? Our most recent student survey, Emerging Futures 4, asked more than 10,000 international students for their views on the admissions process (and lots of other things) and our latest article, ‘Admissions and the Application Process for International Students’ takes a detailed look at what students think about application turnaround times, use of AI in the international education journey, and how great admission services can be used as a key promotional factor.

🎓🎓 Relative Insight's breadth of work with higher education institutions has surfaced recurring themes and challenges. 🎓🎓 There are numerous examples of how our text analysis software has helped define actionable insights to support colleges. So we thought we'd share them. Relative Insight is launching a new webinar series focused on the higher education sector: Relative Connect. The sessions will feature interviews with industry leaders about the key issues facing colleges, from falling enrollment to ensuring student safety on campuses. In our first event, Relative Insight's Daniel Weiser will speak to Ahmed Belazi, Executive Director of Strategic Analytics and Technologies at Stony Brook University. The pair will discuss how higher education institutions can hone their strategies for boosting diversity, including the data sources and types of analysis that get to the heart of what students say about on-campus inclusivity.
