Webinar: How AI Can Help or Hurt Your College Application by CollegeAdvisor.com

About this Webinar

Artificial intelligence tools are now a common part of the college application process. The real question is not whether students are using AI, but whether they are using it wisely.

On March 11 at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT, join Alvin Carter for How AI Can Help or Hurt Your College Application. Alvin brings extensive admissions leadership experience from Columbia University, Tufts University, Georgia State University, and as an application reader for the London School of Economics and Sciences Po.

In this timely session, Alvin will break down how admissions offices are thinking about AI, what students and families should understand about institutional policies, and how AI use can either strengthen or undermine an application. You will gain clarity on how to approach AI as a tool while protecting authenticity, credibility, and long-term opportunity.

As you plan ahead for college applications, this conversation will give you a practical, admissions-informed framework for navigating AI in the modern application process.

Alvin Carter

Former Admissions Officer

I have extensive admissions experience, having served as an Assistant Director of Admissions at Columbia University and Tufts University, and Associate Director of Graduate Student Services at Georgia State University. I also served as an application reader and reviewer for the London School of Economics and Science Po. In addition to multiple years of admissions committee experience, I have also worked as the Director of College Counseling for a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students gain access to higher education. During my time serving as Assistant Director of Admissions at Columbia and Tufts, I oversaw the entire admissions process. This included developing and executing recruitment strategies, leading admissions teams, evaluating applications holistically, making admissions and scholarship decisions, collaborating with faculty and financial aid departments, and ensuring a seamless transition for admitted students. I also represented these institutions at events aimed at attracting high-caliber candidates.
