Searching for Applicants

Getting Started with Searching Your Applicant Pool

If you're just getting started with searching your applicant pool, we recommend you review the following information:

  • Run quick, basic searches on your applicants, such as searching by their name or grouping applicants by program.
  • Build lists that filter applicants by multiple criteria (e.g., regional applicants, Verified applicants with a high GPA, etc.). Be sure to review the Template Naming Tips page for best practices in naming templates you create.
  • Combine lists to create advanced searches (e.g., regional applicants who are Verified with a high GPA).
  • Create a personal ad hoc list of applicants, setting them aside for later use.

WebAdMIT offers several search pages for you to quickly search and filter applicants. The Search page is where you can conduct a general search. You can also use search pages customized to features in WebAdMIT (e.g., Search Assignments, Search Interviews, Search Correspondence) or specific to application statuses (e.g., In Progress Applicants, On Hold Applicants, Undelivered Applicants, etc.).
