Having the ability to auto score a number of application areas would be great. Examples: GPA, work experience (base the score on a raw count of experiences listed), activities, awards, honors (base the score on a raw count of what is listed by applicant)

System would auto score, review can adjust score based on what they qualify/disqualify. Example: system gives activities score a 10 based on 10 activities listed. Review gives score of 8 because two of the activities aren't legit.

By having system autoscore, we can screen out applications based on the autoscore. When it comes to selection, reviewers would look at the top applications more closely.

Please see similar request from fiu in merged enhancements. Description below -

"There is no actual issue right now, this is more of a quality of life suggestion. We would like to be able to setup automatic rating of certain fields for reviewer rubrics. For example, GPA is probably one of the more common fields that gets rated by reviewers and is fairly static and not subjective. It would be nice to setup a scale to apply scores for specific ranges depending on how a review committee would like to rate certain criteria."

Eric Wold with Montana State University-Bozeman would like this enhancement. They have a way of scoring now but would like to change the process. See below: 

We have some reviewers who like to score applicants based on certain objective criteria. The rubrics in reviewer groups can facilitate this to some extent in a somewhat analog fashion using the min-max rubric scores and the weight for each element. Can you please add a feature that would allow us to authorize the system to calculate certain rubric elements. For example, our committee would like to score Juniors/Seniors with high GPA's higher than Freshman/Sophomore's with high GPA's. In the current environment, we would create two reviewer questions (strength of GPA, and class level score) and ask the committee members to rank each applicant. Higher scores would be assessed for higher GPA's and for Higher class levels. The reviewers would then assess the GPA and class level based on a note in the question, and then an average score would be assigned at the point of reviewer submission.

Since GPA's and class level or earned credits are imported data, we would like AW to be capable of generating reviewer answers in certain situations. Using the example above, since GPA and class level are knowable things in our database, and we import them, we would like AW to be capable of determining and setting a response for "strength of gpa" and "class level score". This way we could insure consistency, and further streamline the scoring/review process for our review committee members. I think at a minimum, this feature enhancement will need the following requirements; 
1). The rubric question will need to be configurable - perhaps a check box to toggle the feature on/off for a given rubric. 
2). The ability to map the question's min-max value to expected import fields/value combinations that could either be text or numeric values. It will also need to support: 
a. Not In 
b. greater than = 
c. less than = 
d. greater than 
e. less than 
f. includes 
3). The ability to utilize scoring weights in a manner similar to the current method. 
4). The ability for some questions in the rubric to utilize this feature while other questions in the same rubric do not.

Biola University (biola.academicworks.com) has requested this as well.  They also score on GPA with specific guidelines and would like for the system to assign scores automatically.

Some scores should all be ranked the same. Some clients have a guide to tell reviewers how to score certain things. For example, if a GPA is 3.0 or higher they should get the full 10 points in the GPA rubric. Instead of having reviewers do this (maybe some incorrectly) they would like the system to automatically score the applicants.
