    Holistic Review

Othot is launching a new model called Holistic Review and will be providing this to Residency Programs via ResidencyCAS. Powered by Othot's engine, Holistic Review is a new AI-based approach that will help Residency programs find the best applicants while promoting fairness and equity. It will help programs evaluate students based on factors beyond grades and test scores -- taking into account applicants' unique backgrounds, experiences, and attributes -- to help programs achieve a more fair, consistent and thorough selection process. 

    Othot to WebAdMIT Integration

Over the coming years, Othot seeks to incorporate its predictive modeling insights into the workflow of Liaison's admissions management and CRM solutions. In this release, we made a major step toward this vision by implementing an integration with WebAdMIT, Liaison's admissions management solution for graduate programs. Users of WebAdMIT can now see Othot platform data as part of their WebAdMIT workflow, making it easier to leverage predictive insights as they manage their admissions process and make decisions.

    New User Experience

Behind the scenes, we are working on an overhaul of the Othot application to improve the user experience. We have completed a comprehensive set of user studies and built out the scaffolding for the new application. Over the next few releases, we will continue to build out the new workflows, and continue to iterate with feedback, to ensure they meet user needs and improve their experience using Othot.

    Other Enhancements and Bug Fixes

In each release, we enhance existing features, expand functionalities, and address software bugs. Noteworthy highlights from this round of updates include:

  • Fixed an issue where some values were not populating in the pivot functionality.
  • Fixed an issue where Analyze Page visualizations were not populating for Intelligent Names customers.
  • Fixed an issue where Scenario was not working with matrices that were not built on Incremental Aid templates.
  • Fixed an issue where the Insights Grid exported null data if a top impact filter was applied,
