Millions of online undergraduate and graduate students may have been undercounted. Having focused on the returning adult student for more than 20 years, I have often thought that 12-month (academic year) unduplicated headcount data better portray adult student participation in higher education than the fall snapshot data that is commonly used to understand of the “shape” of the market.

We at Enrollment Builders love in-person networking events. We're so glad that most higher ed organizations are hosting their admissions and enrollment management conferences in 2023. Now, almost three years after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down everything, it's starting to feel like "normal" again. We are grateful that conferences have mostly returned to business as usual.

In the last blog, I discussed Grade Point Average or GPA, how it is calculated and how it makes an essential contribution to the profile you present to colleges at application time. If colleges consider your GPA to be important, then you should too. In this blog, I will show you how the key to academic success is not dependent on being smart, rather it is about being disciplined and efficient in your study habits.

I’ve been reading Phil Hill’s excellent blog ( PhilOnEdTech ) for the last few years, and have wanted to talk with him many times. I finally picked up the phone to talk with him about a set of blogs he wrote about new data from IPEDS that indicate that they’ve been undercounting online students by almost 2 million students. I was so fascinated by the new data that I did some additional analysis myself in another blog , but watch my interview with Phil in this post.

Institutional research can help you unlock enrollment insights. You call them when you need data. You rely upon them for information when conducting self-studies and when you go through accreditation reviews. But do they know what your department does and needs? Your campus partners in Institutional Research (IR) sit a virtual gold mine of data. As institutions have embraced technology platforms and systems, the additional data that is (or can be) available can unlock many hidden institutional s

My wife has celiac disease. While many people do not know exactly what that is, they have at least heard of “gluten” and are familiar with the GF or grain symbol on food labels in the grocery store or at restaurants. 20 years ago, however, when she was first diagnosed, that was definitely not the case. In fact, going out to eat was an incredible hassle.

In the world of college admissions, this is a stressful time of year. As soon as seniors finished their dash across the finish line of early round deadlines, they barely came up for air before diving back into UC and regular decision applications. Juniors are feeling the pressure, too, as they take the SAT/ACT and discuss specific colleges that may or may not be a good fit.

A guide to the standardized test that determines National Merit and prepares students for the SAT. What is the PSAT? If you’re the parent of a high school senior, your child is likely focusing on the ACT or SAT , the standardized tests that are a crucial part of college admissions.

Rapid response is one of the key expectations of today’s prospective students. Someone asked me what was the most important thing I recommend to my consulting clients. The answer was clear: Institutions need to stop thinking that students should meet them where we are and instead adjust to meet students where they are. This may sound simple, but higher education—and in particular graduate education—has been guilty of ignoring market trends and expectations, and then applying engagement and

If you look at published GPA ranges for many well-known colleges and universities, you may start to scratch your head in bewilderment. When you see that the average GPA for an admitted student at a large public university exceeds 4.0, you start to wonder what in the world is going on. I know I do! Grade inflation is indeed at an all-time high.

Boston, Massachusetts has been historically called ‘America’s College Town.’ I won’t argue with the designation. But Boston might not be the best place for everyone to go to college. Some might find it too cold, too expensive, or too urban for their tastes. However, if you’re shopping for a college, you are probably getting ideas as to which cities could also be a “college town.” There is no one definition of a college town, so I want to help you compare

Building good study habits takes patience. Good study habits include studying in a quiet place (bedroom, library), taking study breaks, organization, and seeking academic tutoring. Studying is sometimes the last thing students want to do as they already have so much on their plates. Some students have a rigorous academic curriculum, conduct leadership in their student organization, or an avid student-athlete.

In his latest blog, Rick Clarke, the Director of Admission at GA Tech, says, "When you hear admission reps say, 'We are looking for a well-rounded class…' they mean they want choices and options.decisions are based on goals and mission." This makes us ask: 1) What exactly is a “hook” in college admissions parlance? 2) Why do institutional priorities carry so much weight in admissions?
