This is why Andy Lynch, president of North Star Marketing, and Rick Newberry, president of Enrollment Catalyst (that’s me!), will be offering our next Geeks on the Road Workshop on this key topic.

This year’s installment, CHLOE 8 , highlights an interesting confluence of the continued growth of online learning and the ways in which institutions are poised to respond to changing student preferences.

Learn how you can stand out in the application process with a top score—and how to raise your ACT score to get there.

Blogs Most strategic plans fail to set useful goals. Why these mistakes make it impossible to meet institutional objectives. Everyone agrees that a strategic plan should set clear institutional goals. The plan should serve as the “North Star” guiding what is otherwise “a series of individual faculty entrepreneurs held together by a common grievance over car parking,” as Clark Kerr famously quipped.

ASU Professor Gary Marchant said it's hard to teach a law course without having some connection to AI. The first major breakthrough in AI in law was an AI program called eDiscovery, which collects evidence for court cases. Marchant said it's up to lawyers who understand AI to address new issues in copyright. Marchant wants to equip and educate students with AI skills to prevent over-dependence and to prepare them for an AI-dependent world after school.

“Charles, does digital lead generation really (still) work?” Over the last several months I’ve been asked this question with increasing frequency. It makes me wonder whether the question is based on strategic curiosity or a hope that an increasingly expensive lead source is not as effective as once thought. If this were the case, perhaps schools could credibly consider less-expensive options.

I know there are a lot of you stressing about Early Decision deadlines and LSAT performance. Here’s my rule: Early Decision makes sense only if your profile is not expected to improve after the ED deadline. So if you expect your score to go up after the ED deadline, you’re better off applying RD with a higher score than ED with a lower score. Caveat 1: Keep in mind that ED also really only makes sense at a given school if the odds are roughly even (say, 40-60%*).
