Enrollment Opportunity Assessment

Do you know where you lose students?

Map the student journey with data.

The Enrollment Opportunity Assessment integrates disproportionate impact market anlaysis with Conversion and Retention Analysis. This holistic data analysis enables colleges to pinpoint where students are lost in attraction, conversion and retention, while also predicting potential student numbers for efficient Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) forecasting.

Why choose Most Likely to Succeed?

Enrollment benchmarking will not only show you where you are losing students from application to retention, but how many students are available that you would need to recruit for sustainable enrollment growth. Our approach is unique.

We know community colleges.

Since we only work with community colleges, we understand that your college data is often not centralized and can be hard to access. Our collection methodology is linked to decision making, so you aren’t wasting time collecting or looking for data that’s not useful. We give you the analysis you need to stop discussions that delay and make decisions because we know what is a must-have or nice-to-have when it comes to reviewing your data sources.

We know how to synchronize data beyond enrollment to set goals for attracting the right-fit students.

Our proprietary tool assesses community populations against your college’s current enrollments, so you not only know where to convert and retain more students, but how many potential students are available in the community.

We pinpoint missing data that will actually make a difference.

Not only do we provide a report on your enrollment benchmarking, we also identify missing data that will help your future enrollment analysis and provide you with a data methodology collection guide that links data to specific decisions to be made, so you can do the assessment and add to your data collection process for better decisions.
