I just wrapped up a call with admissions leaders and counselors where we asked them to take a look at two essays, one that was a part of a successful application to a top university and one that was written by ChatGPT . . .
. . . more than 50% of the participants--which included seasoned admissions leaders from prominent universities and college counselors with years of experience--thought the response written by ChatGPT was written by a student . . .
. . . I had thought that most would be able to still pick the one written by the student (evidently because I knew the authorship, I was able to convince myself that I could identify the "authentic voice") . . .
. . . so I was astounded to see the results. We need to appreciate what an inflection point this is: This most recent EA/ED round is the last time college essays were written without ChatGPT assistance; everything changes going forward . . .
. . . here's the essay written by ChatGPT that fooled more than half of the group of admissions officers/counselors: initialview.com/chat_gpt_essay… . . .
Huge thanks to @Cerenz for joining us for the discussion and sharing all of the innovative ways that @DragonsofSG is already using ChatGPT in the classroom. Great to hear his optimistic take on how this provides educators (and admissions officers) with a chance to reevaluate. . .
. . . what we assess in high schools and as part of the college application. @melissakorn @erichoov @Clark2College @eddiepwest #emchat #intled #admissions
