College Recruiting for the Next Generation
There’s No Off Season in Recruiting
With 93% of students reporting that they would be more likely to apply to a college if you connected with them as a freshman or sophomore in high school, that means that college recruiting needs to start earlier and happen more often.
This coupled with the fact that there’s just going to be fewer and fewer students to recruit for the foreseeable future, means that if you want to survive the demographic downturn, you will need to update your recruiting strategies and build your college’s brand awareness for a new generation.
