  • Overall Timing Reminder (should be done by now, Jan 25 drop dead)
  • Review status
    • Kerri Cahoy Rookie of the Year Award (Jackie Robinson award in MLB)
    • 523 Complete Folders out of 545 started. 523 compares to 466 last year.
      • 162 Probably Reject
      • 221 Admissible and sent to Sectors
      • 140 need GAC to finish reviews (BLW to twist arms - 3 are behind and should discuss, others tracking to end of week)
    • We are a little behind and should just finish (actually a bit ahead, but we need to get things done a bit quicker due to Quals/Fac Retreat Week)
  • Review rejected URM & Female candidates
    • BLW to project list of URM and Female and discuss real time (discussed the 2.0+ cases and changed a couple to admissible)
  • Open house: Open house is March 15th
    • Improved format from last year (thanks Beth!) to be continued
    • Faculty participation
      • Karen/Jaime to encourage this, other ideas? (Karen will send email to remind people and encourage participation)
      • Set expectations in invite letter (was this done last year as planned?) - make appointments with individual faculty (done last year, will repeat)
    • Beth to tell us how travel reimbursement works for students based on last year.  Modify acceptance letter? (reimbursements same, for female, URM and fellowships)
  • Sector meetings being scheduled (any update?) (Info should be 2/15, other TBA)
  • USAF academy rankings should be here (BLW requested) (Here, being placed on Wiki)
  • Yield data (survey to faculty) went out from Karen. Jan. 21 due date, suggest Karen followup Jan. 18 (Fri) (Karen/Jean will follow up then get GAC info)
  • Any comments on the process, suggested changes for the future? 
    • Open discussion (Only faculty/senior IPs should be allowed to enter ranked reviews in system - others can help. can't police this 100% but the policy should be there)
    • BLW observation.  Our increased volume of applicants, but non-volume-based criteria for sending to Sectors, may be sending too many low-quality applicants to the faculty. 
      • Our cutoff for sending to Sector might be adjusted upward or redefined given applicant volume vs. Admission Need.  
      • Last year 104 were Admitted, yet 271 were sent to Faculty to read
      • As of 1/13/13, we have 202 Folders done by GAC with 3+ average score, and 142 between 2 and 3.  Numbers not final but one might think that all our Admits (assuming similar to last year) could come from 3+ bucket
      • This would essentially pull Needed student volume (from faculty survey) forward in the Admissions process
      • Discuss? (discussed - think things are working well the way they are, with the new improvements at the GAC level reducing number of reviews)
  • No labels
