How AI is Transforming College Admissions in 2025

The college admissions landscape has changed dramatically in 2025. Artificial Intelligence is now at the center of how students apply and how universities evaluate applications.

AI Usage Among Students Has Skyrocketed

According to recent statistics, 92% of university students now use AI tools in their academic work - up from just 66% in 2024. Even more striking, 88% of students use generative AI for assessments, nearly doubling from 53% the previous year.

How Universities Are Using AI

Universities like UNC Chapel Hill now use AI in their initial analysis of applications. AI systems can:

Review thousands of applications quickly and consistently

Identify candidates who match specific program requirements

Predict enrollment trends using advanced analytics

Speed up financial aid approvals

Match students with scholarships they qualify for

The Double-Edged Sword

While AI offers tremendous benefits, it also raises concerns. Nearly two-thirds of educators worry about plagiarism in essays due to AI usage. Many colleges now run essays through AI detectors and are asking students to verify that their applications were completed independently.
