GAPS site screen shot Cornell's Graduate Application Processing System (GAPS) - GAPS is a secure Web application that WDG built for Cornell University faculty, staff, and administrative users to review, rank, and sort graduate student applications completely online. GAPS offers custom data views, electronic letters of recommendations, ETS score integration and more. We currently host this application, which was used to process over 5000 graduate student applications in the 2004 - 2005 academic year.

Here is a screen from an administrator's view of GAPS, from the "staging" server (used for final testing and user training). This is an example of the application searching and sorting interface. Many parts of the display are customizable, including which columns appear in the list view.

The entire store is managed from a secure administration interface.
