For Counselors: Introducing Admission Intelligence (Scoir AI)

For Counselors: Introducing Admission Intelligence (Scoir AI)
Introducing Admission Intelligence (Scoir AI) for Counselors | Scoir
7:12

We’re thrilled to introduce Admission Intelligence—tools that bring clarity and confidence to acceptance chances. 🚀

Now, counselors have access to Admission Intelligence—or as we like to call it, Scoir AI—a series of tools to help balance college lists and demystify acceptance chances, powered by tens of millions of de-identified outcome records.

These new tools provide credible, predictive insights tailored to your school inside the platform you’re already using to support effective list-building and informed decision-making. We've also enhanced some of our existing features to best support these new solutions. 

Let's dive in!

 

Admission Intelligence Overview

We get it—people have mixed feelings about AI. Whether you’re cautiously optimistic or have expressed concerns, let us show you what makes Admission Intelligence different.

First, it’s not a replacement for counselor-driven guidance. Scoir AI simply does the time-consuming, manual aspect of the job by compiling mountains of verified data for you, providing real-time insights tailored to each student’s unique academic profile. 

Your students, and their supporters, are already searching for acceptance chances on various online sources, and turning to peers and public forums for information, which leads to conflicting data and unrealistic expectations. 

And, when you don’t know where data comes from, you can feel disconnected from the process, making it hard to drive conversations about setting realistic expectations. 

With tens of millions of de-identified application outcome records from real, validated students across the Scoir Network at your fingertips, Admission Intelligence empowers counselors with trusted insights and enables you to control the narrative.

One counselor who’s been using Scoir AI over the last month put it best:

 

"It's giving students realistic feedback."



Even though we're using real application outcomes to drive the data, we continue to protect student PII by stripping
any personally identifiable information from our models.  


During our back-to-school event, Building Better at Scoir, we walked through the possibilities of using Admission Intelligence to guide students as they create balanced college lists and a plan of action for applying to college. We encourage you to check out the replay. 

 

 

Customizable Settings

We’ve customized the experience so you can learn and implement these tools at a pace that works for you and doesn’t disrupt your workflow. 

If you’d like to start implementing Scoir AI now, that’s great! But, if you want to hold on utilizing these tools until you have more time to explore and learn, you have that option as well. 

AI Settings

 

With customizable settings, counselors choose when, who, and which class years gain access to these new capabilities, keeping you in control while you guide students and their parents. Here's a quick overview of how to adjust your settings to fit your needs.

Balanced List Scores and Intelligent Match

Streamline the creation and evaluation of college lists, quickly identify students in need of support, and effectively track their progress from early list building to application planning with List Scores and Intelligent Match. 

 

List Scores

A List Score is a personalized grade for a student's college list, and you can filter and view these from the Student Roster. The score is calculated by evaluating the student's college list against criteria set by the high school, ensuring it includes an appropriate mix of Reach, Level, and Likely schools.

In order to see a List Scoir, Acceptance Likelihood must be set. Acceptance Likelihood is a setting on each college in a student's list that reflects how competitive it might be for the student to be admitted. Both counselors and students can set the value for each college using five levels: Far Reach, Reach, Level, Likely, Very Likely.

Intelligent Match

Save time and set personalized Acceptance Likelihood at scale for all students and colleges with Intelligent Match.

Instead of manually assessing each student's academic profile, counselors can choose to use the predicted match level, which automatically adjusts based on the student's academic data and historical outcomes from similar students. 

Alternatively, counselors can manually assign match levels to account for unique aspects of a student's profile.

This flexibility ensures that students receive personalized guidance that reflects their achievements, ultimately increasing their chances of gaining admission to well-suited colleges.

Smart Suggestions

One challenge of balancing lists is being able to discover and search for schools by Acceptance Likelihood. 

With Smart Suggestions, counselors can easily search for colleges that fall into Reach, Level, and Likely categories directly from the list-building experience, easing the path to follow or suggest schools.

Predictive Chances

Another powerful tool in the suite of Admission Intelligence is Predictive Chances. While Scattergrams provide valuable insights, they're limited to your high school's data. And, not all schools have a large pool of information to pull from. 

Go beyond traditional metrics like GPA and test scores with Predictive Chances. Using outcomes from thousands of individuals with similar profiles, see round-level and individual predictions for each college and help students make informed decisions about where to apply and when.

Predicitive Chances

Like Scattergrams, Scoir AI factors in GPA and test scores, but it also pulls in information such as high school characteristics like 1st Gen and geographic location. It also considers whether the college is in-state or out-of-state.

Outcomes of the student’s school, as well as the outcomes of thousands of similar students and high schools across the network, are considered so you have more data to validate your findings. 

Currently, Scoir AI does not consider a student’s course selection, rigor or their activities outside of the classroom. These factors are best considered with the guidance of you—their counselor. 

Where these factors significantly influence a students competitiveness or likelihood of acceptance, counselors may override Scoir’s predictions to align with their professional opinion. 

As you guide students, you can run simulations based on academic profile changes to help set goals and expectations. For instance, if you'd like to see if their acceptance chances would increase with higher SAT score, you can simulate those results.

Improved My Colleges Views

As you navigate Scoir AI, we’ve enhanced the My Colleges experience with an updated, customizable table view, including expanded college data and pre-set views. Before, when you viewed My Colleges in a table view, your options were limited. 

Now, with more flexibility, you can tailor the information to work best for your needs by adding and removing columns, saving views, and filtering based on specific criteria. You’ll also see many new columns to choose from like Top Choice and Acceptance Likelihood.
