The right plan can make all the difference in your recruitment and retention efforts. But the reality is most independent and faith-based schools simply don’t have a plan. They move from project to project without a clear strategy. And they’re leaving opportunities on the table.

Deposited students still remain a yield opportunity for campuses. Long gone are the days of admission offices counting college enrollment deposits on May 1 and beginning to plan out their summer conference tours.

Parents often ask us what their children can do in middle school to begin preparing for the college admissions process. You might be wondering, “Is it too early to think about college?” After all, college admissions officers generally only look at students’ high school records.
