AI helps break down barriers by making the process more accessible and judgment-free. In a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7uaSEsOoObo?si=i70YNsRdIy9uKvl5\"> <strong>podcast with Ashish Fernando, Vicki Greene<\/strong><\/a>, CEO of the GED Testing Service<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, highlighted AI\u2019s impact, stating, \u201cThe one thing that is powerful with GED learners and students in general is it removes shame.\u201d At <\/span>Georgia State University<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the AI chatbot \u201cPounce\u201d supports students through the application process, reducing administrative burdens and boosting engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goedmo.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1159\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2.webp\" alt=\"CTA banner 2\" class=\"wp-image-22958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2.webp 1159w, https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2-300x142.webp 300w, https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2-1024x486.webp 1024w, https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2-768x364.webp 768w, https:\/\/goedmo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CTA-banner-2-600x285.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1159px) 100vw, 1159px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ai-expands-opportunities-for-more-students\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"> AI Expands Opportunities for More Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI helps universities reach more students by simplifying the application process. It removes barriers like location and access to information, making higher education available to more people. A survey shows that <\/span>50% of admissions offices<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> use AI to streamline screening, making admissions faster and reaching more students. As <\/span>William Gaulidelli, Senior Vice Provost at Lehigh University, says<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, AI\u2019s goal is not financial gain but to increase access. With AI, colleges can connect with a diverse group of students.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ai-identifies-struggling-students-early\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"> AI Identifies Struggling Students Early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some students face challenges beyond academics, and AI can detect when they need extra support. The <\/span>University of Texas at Austin <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uses predictive analytics to evaluate the likelihood of applicant success in specific programs, helping identify students needing additional support. In a<\/span> podcast with Ashish Fernando, Karen McGregor, Executive Director of Student Success at Purdue University Global<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explains how AI can step in to help: \u201cAI can begin to identify a student who might be struggling with something non-academic and help refer that student to a success coach.\u201d This proactive approach ensures students get the help they need before falling behind.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ai-answers-admissions-questions-instantly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"> AI Answers Admissions Questions Instantly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students frequently have questions about Admission deadlines, documents, and program details.<\/span> David Morales, CIO of Western Governors University, believes<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> AI should be a guide for students: \u201cWe want to make sure that we provide self-service and enable AI such that it answers all the questions on behalf of us to our students as much as possible.\u201d With AI, students can get accurate information whenever they need it. For example, AI chatbots like Lola at the University of Murcia provide instant answers, making the admissions process smoother. Lola communicated with 4,609 students and answered over 38,708 questions with 91% accuracy.
