Jennifer Jesse

Jennifer Jesse appears in AI Meets the Search for a BA as a college consultant describing how students use AI in the college search. She says students rely on AI frequently to turn preference bundles into candidate school lists, such as asking for colleges with both a particular engineering program and a good football team.

Her comments add the human-counselor boundary to AI College Search. Jesse says she tries to turn to humans when possible, but AI is often more accessible. She also warns that AI can repeat the same familiar schools unless prompted away from [[USNewsAndWorldReport|U.S. News and World Report]] and other rankers toward “hidden gem” schools that might better fit a student.
