  • Website issues:
    • Fix the transcript problem – change the language so that students enter all their grades in chronological order.
    • Fix the issue of what school shows up
    • Add more terms to search process – make it easier to find unreviewed/uncompleted folders. Also, how do we search for numbers of reviews, number of completed reviews, etc.?
    • Can we merge in recommender statistics from EECS previous years?
    • Remember to get statistics from USAF in advance of GACstarting review process.
    • The research areas are hard to decrypt. What is ACE?
    • Can we allow users to hide the scores on the folder list page? (They scores are missing from the individual folder pages, but the list shows them. Can we get just: review completed, rather than scored.)

  • Others
    • Get Stanford open house date early, or set ours early, or negotiate with Stanford early. It turns out that our entire schedule can be affected by this.unmigrated-wiki-markup
    • Change aa-gac mailing list to be a mailman list with \ [AA-GAC\] prepended to subject and also Wiki and applyweb URLs in footer.
    • Consider changing GRE score deadline

    • Consider adding automatic generation of recommendation letter reminders. 
    • Need to fix the process from the grad admissions office, some application materials come from them late/not at all.
    • Dave recommends not waiting transcript before allowing a folder to be reviewed. Beth has concerns about this. 
    • EECS system may become the institute-wide system, and we should stay aware of changes that may result.
    • Need to formalize fast-track policy, in particular find a way to ensure that all relevant faculty have been given the opportunity to review a folder. 
    • Need to think about how better to manage multiple RA offers in relation to sizing process. There may not be an answer here.
    • Is there a way to get lists of Fulbright fellows ahead of time, along with types of fellowships? Also, what is an IS&T alternate? Is it like being waitlisted? How often do these get upgraded to principal?
    • Need a policy for GAC members that don't own laptops.
    • Need to formalize admissions policy in relation to qualifying exam with grad committee
    • How close is the tie between admitted student and initial advisor? Admissions letter says "switch to another advisor" rather than "choose an advisor".
