Just want to let you guys know that any school using an AMP portal is undoubtedly using AI to parse through applications. Last cycle, it seemed like a lot of people were unaware of this. Here is a link from Zap Solutions explaining: https://www.zapsolutions.com/amp-ai/

Edit: this is a blurb from Drexel's website as well about Zap Solutions AMP:

This fall, MD program admissions began using a new AI tool, AMP AI, integrated into its admissions management platform through ZAP Solutions. The tool offers mission-integrated insights like its competency analyzer, which ZAP claims “condenses and summarizes free text fields” into a customizable domain score. The tool provides admissions staff with extra metrics on how a candidate aligns with the school’s values. For now, only staff from the Office of Admissions will be training on the technology so that they can coordinate the shift.

Pirrone says the goal isn’t to spend less time on each application, but rather to “make us more consistent and ensure that we’re not losing the reason to say yes. When you go through applications, it’s not about finding the reason to say no. It’s about finding that reason to say, ‘Yes, this is a person that would enrich our university.’”

Human review and judgement still have priority, Pirrone says: “In the end, this is a tool, it’s not a person.” The office also remains committed to holistic review, understanding candidates in the context of their stories.
