The time is perfect (in so far as real world time is ever perfect) for technologies that optimise the conversion of international applications based not on a ‘first into the queue is first to be dealt with’ model but on a ‘damn when it arrived, how likely is it to convert’ model. Institutions have the data that can inform this but not the prioritisation tools to turn that into higher conversion for lower investment; time to blend intelligent data and management tech with blended human admissions management. The payback is easy and the service to students significantly improved – hardly a difficult decision!
