Millions of online undergraduate and graduate students may have been undercounted. Having focused on the returning adult student for more than 20 years, I have often thought that 12-month (academic year) unduplicated headcount data better portray adult student participation in higher education than the fall snapshot data that is commonly used to understand of the “shape” of the market.

We at Enrollment Builders love in-person networking events. We're so glad that most higher ed organizations are hosting their admissions and enrollment management conferences in 2023. Now, almost three years after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down everything, it's starting to feel like "normal" again. We are grateful that conferences have mostly returned to business as usual.

In the last blog, I discussed Grade Point Average or GPA, how it is calculated and how it makes an essential contribution to the profile you present to colleges at application time. If colleges consider your GPA to be important, then you should too. In this blog, I will show you how the key to academic success is not dependent on being smart, rather it is about being disciplined and efficient in your study habits.

I’ve been reading Phil Hill’s excellent blog ( PhilOnEdTech ) for the last few years, and have wanted to talk with him many times. I finally picked up the phone to talk with him about a set of blogs he wrote about new data from IPEDS that indicate that they’ve been undercounting online students by almost 2 million students. I was so fascinated by the new data that I did some additional analysis myself in another blog , but watch my interview with Phil in this post.

In the world of college admissions, this is a stressful time of year. As soon as seniors finished their dash across the finish line of early round deadlines, they barely came up for air before diving back into UC and regular decision applications. Juniors are feeling the pressure, too, as they take the SAT/ACT and discuss specific colleges that may or may not be a good fit.

Rapid response is one of the key expectations of today’s prospective students. Someone asked me what was the most important thing I recommend to my consulting clients. The answer was clear: Institutions need to stop thinking that students should meet them where we are and instead adjust to meet students where they are. This may sound simple, but higher education—and in particular graduate education—has been guilty of ignoring market trends and expectations, and then applying engagement and
