DreamApply

When every international student represents real tuition revenue, knowing whether their payment has arrived should not require a dedicated person playing detective. 👀 Rita Csúri-Magosi, Head of the Office for International Academic Programs at University of Szeged, describes what that looked like before DreamApply: "𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘦. 𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴." Today, Szeged's team sees payment status in real time. They also use DreamApply's tracker codes to monitor every recruitment agency channel, so commission tracking with partners becomes straightforward.

Before you increase your marketing spend, ask: are you losing qualified students you already attracted? 🤔 In this excerpt from the EdTech & Pancakes podcast, DreamApply CTO Lauri Elevant shares 3 layers to increasing qualified applicants: 1️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 Find qualified students who started but didn't finish - "the lowest hanging fruit to pick." 2️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The best applicants have limited attention.

As Lauri explains: "This sort of artificial friction is not conducive of finding the best students." 3️⃣ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Stop measuring clicks. Measure cost per enrolled student. "It's very easy for any advertising channel to give you the number of clicks they brought you. But this is meaningless. Those clicks could turn into successful students or they could not."

At that scale, many admissions teams end up buried in spreadsheets, manual work and last-minute firefighting. Péter Árvai, Deputy Director for #Internationalization, explains that part of their success stemmed from how the team interacted with the data every day. He shares that for a team to stay motivated through a surge in applications, the software needs to feel human: "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴.

Péter explains how a strategic goal set in 2015 was achieved, and how DreamApply made this rapid growth manageable by helping admissions teams handle a surge in applications without a proportional increase in workload. In the full interview, we cover the hows and whys behind this growth, from faculty autonomy and performance tracking to student-centric approaches, time-saving strategies, and more. 🎥 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: youtube.com/watch?v=8KgRKC… 👀 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆: dreamapply.com/request-a-demo 🧠 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: dreamapply.com/personalized-a… #education #marketing #tips #studentenrollment
