Anyone who knows me will know that I love a good conversion funnel. They provide the clearest roadmap to recruitment success that I know of, because we all know that the path to purchase (the path to enrollment) is never linear. It would be great if this were true.

We’ve seen way, way too many students build dangerously top-heavy college lists —like Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, MIT, and … hm, guess I’ll add UC Irvine (28ish% acceptance rate) as a safety? ( Note: 28% is not a “safety school.”) These students are likely falling prey to optimism bias. And if this sounds like you, then we’d highly recommend building a more balanced list, and adding one or two actual “safety schools” to give yourself some peace of mind.
