Colby College, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt University, and Washington University have partnered with Schoolhouse.world and will welcome applicants to submit "Dialogues" certifications on the peer-tutoring platform as an optional supplement to their college application this fall. Harvard sophomore Alex Bronzini-Vender noted in a recent New York Times op-ed that in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling against affirmative action in college admissions, colleges exploited a "loophole": "Though the court would no longer allow colleges to screen applicants for race per se, they would probably still be allowed to ask applicants how race had shaped their lives." James Nondorf, the University of Chicago's vice president for enrollment and dean of college admissions, told Forbes, "In our first year of the partnership with Schoolhouse.world, students from 15 different countries and 14 states submitted certifications to UChicago, and UChicago enrolled an incredibly diverse group of 13 students with Schoolhouse.world transcripts."
