Carnegie Mellon has committed to completely automating its admission process utilizing FolderWave's Web-based offerings in order to simplify, improve and accelerate the admission process. This has enabled Carnegie Mellon to tailor incoming class demographics and provide for future growth while reducing costs. In addition, Carnegie Mellon continues its commitment to be environmentally friendly by virtually eliminating the copying and printing typically done in admission offices.

"We have made some great improvements in the Carnegie Mellon admission processes," said Michael Steidel, Director of Admission. "After successful evaluation by our Information Security Office, we have gone full speed ahead with reading in an online paperless mode. The ability to read wherever and whenever we want has positively impacted our process and staff. In addition to the enormous improvement in the admission process, Carnegie Mellon is well on its way to creating a truly paperless admission office, which is good for the environment, too."
