As one of the most important elements of working toward improving our future, some organizations are putting a great deal of effort into implementing technological advancements in education.  While technology has improved the admissions process by making it faster, easier and more efficient to conduct online, we have taken very few steps beyond the basics.  Ravenna’s developers claim that their app is transforming K-12 admissions for private schools by implementing a fully paperless process for every step from the very first inquiry to the final decision.   Parents looking for private, higher quality schooling for their children and administrators of these schools often face the most difficulty in the process.  This is due to higher standards and the submission of many more applications than a school is able to accept.  A great deal of review also needs to go into every one.  Ravenna looks to address this issue in a number of ways in order to improve the admissions process altogether.

Despite the thousands of SAT preparation books and college admissions guides available on the market, the most helpful information for high school students applying to college often comes from either former admissions officers or recently admitted students.  Getting help from a former admissions officer usually means hiring them as a college admissions coach.  This situation can get very expensive for parents and is therefore prohibitive for many students.  However, cool product AdmitSee wants to offer college applicants more affordable help by leveraging information from the profiles of recently accepted students.   AdmitSee obtains information from current university students and recent graduates and compiles that information into admissions profiles.  AdmitSee then stores that information on its site and gives access to those still in the college application process.  By viewing the profiles of successful graduates, high school students can find out what different schools are looking for specifically.  This information can then help AdmitSee members in forming their own successful applications.  This advantage will help kids get in to a great school for whatever career path they choose, whether they want to be a writer, aviation engineer, or even a cloud computer repair professional.
