A new Manhattan Prep/Kaplan survey of more than 300 aspiring #businessschool students finds that a majority believe they have little to fear when it comes to their #socialmedia posts harming their admissions chances. Among the findings: - Legit Factor: Of those surveyed, 59 percent say that what prospective students post on social media sites is “fair game” for admissions officers to use to help them decide who gets in; but 41 percent disagree and think it’s “an invasion of privacy that shouldn’t be done.” - Low Impact: 66 percent say that if an admissions officer had full access to all of their social media posts right now, it would have no impact on their chances of getting in. - Minimal Scrubbing: So confident are respondents in the content they posted that only 3 percent say they will “definitely” delete social media posts before applying to business school. “The vast majority of today’s business school applicants are millennials and Gen Zers who grew up on social media, regularly using it to tell stories, share, and express themselves, so it’s not too surprising that most are comfortable with admissions officers evaluating them on the content they post. Though it is notable that some respondents told us that they are concerned their political views shared on social media might be held against them,” said Stacey Koprince, director of content and curriculum, Manhattan Prep, which is owned by Kaplan.

"Working-age adult population with some college but no credential jumps 2.9%, report finds" - Higher Ed Dive The latest report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center shows a significant trend: U.S. adults under 65 with some college but no credential reached 36.8 million by July 2022, up 2.9% from the previous year. Over 943,000 adults who stopped out of college reenrolled during the 2022-23 academic year, marking a 9.1% increase. Key insights from the Higher Ed Dive article: ♦ The 'some college, no credential' population is growing. ♦ Only 37.2% of reenrolled stopped-out students return to the same institution. ♦ Many opt for different sectors and primarily online institutions. ♦ 30.1% of students who stopped out of a bachelor’s degree program reenrolled in an associate degree. “They’re looking for the quickest route to a credential — anything that will help that prior investment pay off in the workforce,” said Doug Shapiro. Why This Matters: ♦ Higher education marketers need to understand the shift towards non-traditional students. ♦ This growing demographic represents an opportunity to offset the anticipated decline in traditional-age students.

Interested in learning more about the #enrollmentcliff in #highereducation? Thank you Blackbaud for sharing my blog post on how CollegeAPP's surveys and models are helping colleges and universities find adult students who are out "in the wild" to fuel recruitment goals. How? MATH is the solution. Our survey data has the potential to reshape the discussion about which adults should be identified and actively recruited by colleges and universities. When used strategically, data (aka Math) can help institutions target students who intend to enroll in education and training, turn their intent into action, and transform their future economic prospects in the process. I encourage you to read and get a better sense of the trends influencing adult demand for education and how we can "come together" to keep our industry thriving amidst the ongoing #enrollmentcliff challenges.

The r/ChanceMe subreddit and other similar online communities allow prospective college applicants to summarize themselves and allow strangers to weigh in on their admissions chances.

Finding your "best fit" list of colleges is similar to peeling an onion -- removing the layers of characteristics that aren't of interest to you to get to the core of what you're looking for. Visiting the campuses and getting to know the colleges that you are considering is an important part of the college application process. Additionally, "demonstrated interest" can be an influential aspect of the application review process, now that the Common Application has made it so easy to apply to many more schools than you probably actually need to/should. [I recommend 8-10, 12 max.] Make sure to check in with the Admissions Office so that they know that you made the effort to have an official visit to their campus! https://lnkd.in/eMK9pkBX

Experienced and trusted advisor/coach in a variety of professions. Life-long learner. Passionate about equity and access in higher education.
March brings a whirlwind of emotions for high school seniors – admissions decisions are rolling in! This can be stressful, with acceptances, rejections, and the exciting (but sometimes overwhelming) task of choosing a college. While finances are a major factor, remember – fit matters most! Studies show that a strong sense of belonging on campus leads to higher graduation rates and overall student success. Here are some tips for navigating this exciting (and sometimes nerve-wracking) time: Attend admitted student events (if budget allows): Get a feel for the campus culture and see if it aligns with your student's personality. Focus on fit, not just ranking: Rankings don't tell the whole story. Choose a school that feels like a supportive, inspiring community. Trust your gut! Encourage your student to choose the college where they feel most connected. This is a big decision, but with these tips, your student can find the perfect place to thrive! #CollegeDecisions #FutureLeaders #HighSchoolSeniors

As the application cycle begins in the USA, prospective students have bullish expectations about what they want and the schools they are passionate about. Aspiring grad students are biased, and some are even hell-bent on attending a particular school. While there’s no problem in being finicky about your choice of schools, there’s also a need to understand a few things about balancing your expectations and reality. First, one of the problems of grad school applicants starts when sending cold emails to faculty members. It begins when you start getting negative responses. As an applicant, I understand the energy and enthusiasm you put into contacting faculty members and your expectations as well. I know you are out there, and you expect them to say “YES” all the time. You love to hear that they “have funding.” While these are the things every prospective student envisages, it’s also important to balance expectations and what’s obtainable. One thing you have to know is that, no matter how stellar your profile is, no faculty member will accept you unless they have financial assistance to keep you for 2 years( MS) or 4/5 years (PhD), as the case may be. Faculty members will give you the go-ahead to apply when they have funding or are expecting positive outcomes from grants they have applied for. So, no matter how much you love working with a research group in a particular school, if the faculty member says,” There’s no funding,” there’s no funding. Take their word for it. Then, move on and look for prospects in other schools. Faculty members are willing to take as many qualified students as possible, and they do so when they have the financial budget. So, don’t be too attached to any school. Spread your net while looking for opportunities. Remember, there’s a school for everyone, and it’s your responsibility to continue to search for that school until you get that resounding YES #Gradschoolapplication
