Score students at the prospect, inquiry, and admit stages

ForecastPlus has several different models available for accurate, timely qualification at each stage of the recruitment process. These models may be used separately, or you can combine them to guide students through the enrollment funnel. 

1. Prospect model

Target your purchasing criteria more accurately before ordering names, rank students on your mailing lists and search tapes, and tailor communications based on a student's likelihood of enrolling.For instance, students receiving low enrollment-probability scores could receive an inexpensive postcard inviting them to request more information. Respondents could join your inquiry pool, saving you the cost of sending more expensive mailings to the entire prospect pool.

2. Inquiry model

Gauge the interest of inquiries quickly and accurately, allowing you to focus more attention on the hottest leads.The inquiry model gives you a big boost in raising enrollment yields. Using the model scores, you can organize the efforts of your admissions staff more efficiently—for instance, scheduling travel or faculty calls to students.

3. Applicant or Admit model

Determine which applicants or admitted students will likely enroll and get a jump-start on receiving deposits.

Case studies

"Predictive modeling allows us to reach those most likely to enroll without communicating to the entire population of prospective students. We were able to eliminate 35,000 of our lowest scoring prospects from our mailing efforts, saving approximately $28,000."
