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.

How many colleges should I apply to? I get this one all the time: How many colleges should I apply to? The answer to this question is simple: at least one. But before you dismiss the simple answer as a weak attempt at wit, consider this: you can attend only one college. Or for those who transfer from one college to another, you can attend only one college at a time.

“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%*).
