Applying to a college abroad? Here's how AI tools might hurt, or help
I cover education technology at The New York Times. And I've been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, which can manufacture school essays and other texts, might reshape the college application process. I was particularly interested to learn whether admissions officials were rejiggering their essay questions — or even reconsidering personal essays altogether. Amid a deluge of high school transcripts and teacher recommendations, admissions officers often use students' writing samples to identify applicants with unique voices, experiences, ideas and potential. How might that change now that many students are using AI chatbots to brainstorm topics, generate rough drafts and hone their essays? To find out, I contacted admissions officials at more than a dozen large state universities, Ivy League schools and small private colleges, including Juan Espinoza, the director of undergraduate admissions at Virginia Tech.

Women’s tennis: A small step at the US Open 50 years ago was a giant leap
Women’s tennis was luckier. It had a King. It is 50 years since women’s tennis scored its first victory in pay equality. In 1973, the US Open became the first Grand Slam to announce equal prize money for men and women. In 1968, Billie Jean King had won the first Open era Wimbledon women’s title and received £750 for it while her ‘counterpart’ Rod Laver took home £2,000. In 1970, she and eight other US women players broke away from the US tennis tour over equal pay demand. They created Virginia Slims Invitational circuit. But things didn’t change. In 1972, the US Open men’s singles champion Ilie Nastase received $25,000. The women’s winner, King, got $10,000. The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) was launched in 1973 and King threatened to boycott the US Open until the pay was equalised. And it was!

America’s on-off relationship with divinity isn’t easy to track
If religion in America were bought and sold like a stock, now might be a good time to short it. In recent months, a number of pundits have declared that the American love affair with organized religion—and Christianity in particular—is over. Recent surveys suggest that church attendance, already faltering in the 21st century, still hasn’t recovered in the wake of the pandemic.
