I recently read up on some admission statistics from the National Association for college admission counseling. You understand the admissions process well, but do you really know how much time and resources colleges spend on recruiting students? Read on to see how your school compares to national averages.

Like I said above, the statistics I’m referring to were from a 2005 study done by the National Association of College Admission Counseling. According the the association, enrollment in colleges continues to be on the rise. Yes, that means more work for you as an admissions representative! In fact, in 2005 admissions employees reviewed approximately 395 applications each at the average university, with public schools reviewing twice as many as the private schools. Whew that’s a lot of work!

So pat yourselves on the back admission reps. Sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate and you are handling it beautifully!
