2024 Admitted Student Review
Designed as a multi-institutional survey, the ASR is a web-based, post-May 1 survey of your admitted students concerning their college choice decision.
Consisting of approximately 90 carefully honed and extensively field tested question items, the ASR provides invaluable insights and market context for enrollment managers, admissions directors, financial aid directors, CFOs, academic officers, presidents and other institutional leaders. From comparative strengths and weaknesses of their institution compared to their core competition to key points of differentiation, our insights provide a deeper understanding of the college choice process to better understand the underlying drivers of academic value and enrollment demand.
The ASR is offered as a turnkey assessment tool; we manage all aspects of survey administration and analysis and provide you with a series of in-depth analytic reports and datasets.
