The Challenge: Simplifying Admission Decisions with AI

The client, a large corporation managing multiple for-profit higher education institutions, faced growing challenges in streamlining their admission decision processes. The institution needed to assess student eligibility based on various documents submitted during the application process, including transcripts, identification documents, and admission forms. These documents were stored in Salesforce.com (SFDC), containing both structured data like student demographics and unstructured data like scanned PDFs of admission requirements.

“AI-powered decision support helped us reduce admission decision turnaround time by 70%, ensuring consistent eligibility outcomes while scaling seamlessly across multiple campuses.”

The admission team relied heavily on manual reviews to extract and validate information, which led to several operational inefficiencies:

Time-Consuming Document Reviews

Reviewing student documents manually slowed down the admission decision process.

Data Fragmentation

Combining structured data from Salesforce with unstructured data from uploaded PDFs created inconsistencies.

Error-Prone Validation

 Manual document reviews left room for human errors and inconsistent decision-making.

Scalability Challenges

As the volume of applicants increased, the institution struggled to maintain review timelines without additional resources.

Compliance Risks

Admission decisions needed to adhere to strict eligibility criteria, making consistent compliance difficult with manual processes.

The client needed an AI-powered solution that could extract, analyze, and validate data from multiple sources to improve decision accuracy and operational efficiency.
