Focus Your Resources, Maximize Your Impact

Focus your search name purchases, digital ads, direct mail campaigns, and counselor travel and outreach on the prospective students you are most likely to influence toward application. Capture’s APPLY not only uses historic data and what we know about the prospective student, but also their actual demonstrated interest in your institution by incorporating ENGAGE’s behavioral data in a way that no other model can. Students in the top decile of the APPLY prediction model apply at 13 times the rate of lower-predicted students.
