The Problem

Interview week shouldn't be a nightmare.

Every year, admissions coordinators spend weeks juggling spreadsheets, emails, and calendars. It's tedious, error-prone, and exhausting.

Without Schedule Genius
Scattered data everywhere
Form responses in one place, emails in another, availability in spreadsheets that never sync.
Manual matching nightmare
Cross-checking availability, research interests, and faculty preferences one row at a time. Errors become inevitable.
Version control chaos
Multiple draft schedules with conflicting edits and copy-paste errors. Which version is current?
Email avalanche
Sending invites one by one. Manually researching when conflicts arise. Chasing missing RSVPs.
40+ hours of repetitive work
Every single admissions cycle. The same spreadsheet dance over and over. No time for anything else.

    Click any name to see their responses or resend their form link.

    Move interviews between time slots or swap interviewers with your mouse.
  • Conflict detection
    Visual warnings if you create a double-booking or violate a preference.
  • Lock critical pairings
    Pin specific interviews so they don't get moved during regeneration.
  • Match details on hover
    Hover any meeting on the grid to see why a pairing was made — research overlap, preference rank, and more.
  • Save or discard
    Experiment freely. Save your changes when you're happy, or discard and start fresh.
