How are EnGauge Scores used to impact enrollment?

EnGauge Scores empower you to recruit and enroll with confidence by giving you real-time insights that inform data-driven decision-making. Knowing each prospect’s likelihood to apply and an admitted student’s likelihood to enroll allows you to focus time and resources on students with the highest propensity to take action. 

EnGauge Scores support strategic decision-making and facilitate the efficient use of your scarce resources to impact enrollment outcomes.

EnGauge Apply + Enroll Score use cases:

  • Determine who should receive a limited mailer, phone call, or other appeal.
  • Use engagement data to strengthen conversations during counseling or campus visits.
  • Optimize future name purchases by identifying commonalities among high propensity students.

What else comes with the EnGauge Suite?

  • Consulting: All EnGauge Scores come with consulting, which includes evaluating which variables your institutional score should include, how to interpret the score once it’s live, and what optimizations can be made based on your results.
  • Training: We provide training for your staff because these scores are most impactful when adopted widely and truly understood.
  • EnGauge Dashboard: The EnGauge Dashboard is built in your Slate instance (or ours), which provides data visualization for outcomes reporting and filters for data manipulation to inform institutional decisions.

 

EnGauge Scores – Product

Georgia Southern University Success

Georgia Southern, a Student Search partner and EnGauge Apply + Enroll Score beta participant, used EnGauge Scores to optimize their first-year recruitment strategy and exceed enrollment expectations in 2024. Using their score results and in consultation with the Carnegie team, Georgia Southern made strategic optimizations that impacted their 2024 success. These included prioritizing application deadline calls, which reduced call volume while increasing applications; refining their financial aid contact list to focus on students who needed it most; and cutting back on postcard mailings, resulting in significant cost savings, to name a few.

“The EnGauge Score process helped our recruitment initiatives greatly by allowing us to refine our efforts and spend our time and money working with the right students. We used our scores to target students for multiple outreach campaigns and print mailings, ultimately allowing us to put our resources where they mattered the most and saving us time and money while exceeding all of our undergraduate enrollment goals.” Caleb Rogers
